Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks different in Looper

Fans of Joseph Gordon-Levitt will find that he looks quite different than usual in his upcoming movie Looper. I've seen quite a few JGL movies (The Lookout, 500 days of Summer, Inception, 50-50) to figure out something looks different when I saw the movie for Looper.

In the movie, time travel hasn't been invented yet, but 30 years later, it would have been.  Loopers are specialized assassins who eliminate targets who get sent back from the future. Until one day, his victim turns out to be his future self.

Bruce Willis plays an older version of JGL and that required making JGL look like Bruce Willis by taking certain key features and altered those as explained by writer/director Rian Johnson.

JGL calls this his most transformative role and one that includes 3 hours of make-up and studying Bruce's films in order to sound like him.

The movie sure sounds like it can be potentially good and will be out in September.  So any favorite time travel movies?
