Download Rian Johnson's First 'Looper' Commentary Track, And Listen Along In The Theater
Rian Johnson is a good pitchman when it comes to getting people to see his movies a second time. During the release of his second film The Brothers Bloom, Johnson released a commentary track for the film, the idea being that fans could put the track on an iPod (or whatever) and listen to it in the theater on headphones.
Now he has done the same for Looper, due to popular request. The track has just hit, so I can't tell you much about what it contains, but if it's anything like the Bloom track this will be a pretty detailed and technical discussion of making the film — perfect for serious fans.
Here's how Johnson explains the track on the Looper tumblr:
I recorded a commentary track to be downloaded, put on an ipod and listened to in the theater as you're watching Looper. This is an odd thing I tried with Bloom, and have gotten a few requests for it again, so here it is. It is totally different from the commentary track that will be on the Blu/DVD, a bit more technical and detailed. Needless to say, this is NOT to be listened to on a first viewing, or before you've seen the film. Also, please work it so that a glowing screening is never out of your pocket during the movie.
Listen to the introduction before heading to the theater, it has instructions. And lemme know how it works.
