Now that writer/director Rian Johnson’s Looper is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, you can check out the 22 deleted scenes that didn’t make it into the final cut. The first of those scenes is online and it features a tense moment between Emily Blunt and Garret Dillahunt’s characters. It’s easy to see why this particular little bit of narrative was cut, but I’m looking forward to seeing what else Johnson had to leave behind in the recycle bin. Hit the jump to check out the first deleted scene from Looper, also starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis.

Here’s the synopsis for Looper:
In the futuristic action thriller LOOPER, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper” – a hired gun, like Joe (Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Willis) for assassination.

I’ve watched all the deleted scenes. Kid Blue is featured a lot more, and the theory that he is younger Abe is put to rest. There was also a bit more you Older Joe and his wife in the China montage scene, and that scene bleeds over into another deleted scene that takes place right before he kills Piper Perabo’s son. I liked that and thought it would have been good to keep in the movie.
Excellent movie. Gotta pick up the BluRay soon.
Damnit, now I have to buy the blu-ray
