4/19/2011

After traveling to Japan for a dream-reading assignment in Inception, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has taken on another sci-fi picture that brings him to Asia — the China-set action-thriller Looper.

Promoting the movie in the eastern Chinese financial center of Shanghai on Sunday, the 30-year-old American actor said, “I feel now, doing Looper, is the result of what happened with Inception. It is something I have been working for my whole life.”

Directed by Rian Johnson, Looper also co-stars Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, and Chinese actress Xu Qing.
