Rian Johnson Releases LOOPER Commentary Track

What's that? A commentary track for a movie just freshly released in theaters? You bet. It's a concept Looper director Rian Johnson first messed with for The Brothers Bloom, the idea being that after seeing the film once you could put the commentary on to an iPod and go back to the theater and watch the film a second time on the big screen while listening to the commentary on headphones. It's a clever idea and Johnson had enough people asking him whether he intended to do it again that, well, he did it again.

Says the director:

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.
