For this week’s Blu-ray Monday, we’re giving you the chance to win Rian Johnson’s sci-fi action film Looper.
It is the year 2074, and time travel has been invented, however a nervous government has ensured it is outlawed and it is now confined to the black market. When the Mafia decide they need to get rid of someone, they send their target thirty years into the past to 2044, where a ‘looper’ is waiting to dispose of them. But there’s a catch. Each of these loopers amasses too much information about their mafia bosses, so one day they must be sent back to ‘close the loop’ and be executed by their former selves. Twenty five year old Joseph Simmons (Joseph Gordon –Levitt) is one such looper, working in Kansas City. However Joe’s life is turned inside out when he allows his future self (Bruce Willis) to escape his fate and is tasked with tracking him down.
The Blu-ray version is set to feature an audio commentary with the cast, deleted scenes and a feature on the literary and cinematic history of time travel.
As usual with our Blu-ray Monday competitions, you have two chances to win. For your first entry, just click on the tweet button above. Then for a second entry, leave a comment below in response to the following question:
In Looper, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a younger version of Bruce Willis, and the likeness (aided by some prosthetic enhancements) is uncanny. So this week we wanted to ask you which other actors could be paired up and cast as the younger or older versions of each other? So, for instance do you think Juno Temple would make a convincing young Helen Mirren, or maybe you would like to see Will Smith cast as a younger Samuel L Jackson? Who are the actors that are so unique no-one could portray them accurately?
To make it easier for us to contact you, remember to leave your Twitter details with your comment. We look forward to your suggestions!

I think Christian Bale can play a younger version of Matthew McConaughey. No one can portray Clint Eastwood accurately.
@bobsalim
I always wondered why nobody ever cast Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski to play in the same movie, they look so alike it’s uncanny
Tracy Morgan and Bill Cosby.

A plank of wood could play a younger Sam Worthington? You certainly couldn’t easily have a young Arnold Schwarzenegger.
@BeasleyOnFilm
Jonah Hill (chubby) as a young John Candy
Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez look like brothers. @jakeyvincent37
Ryan Hutcherson could do Sylvester Stallone. I can’t think of anyone that could do Joe Pesci.

@FabAndSassy
Lindsay Lohan as a younger Meryl Streep
Bill Murray / Ryan Reynolds
– Ghostbusters 3!
I think Amy Adams could play a young Nicole Kidman… not that Nicole looks old by any means.
I’d like to see actual actor families to play the younger/older counter parts like Jayden Smith play the younger Will Smith. Blythe Danner/Gwyneth Paltrow, William and Alec Baldwin. Those would be fun.
@unbirthdayangel
I can’t think of a single person Johnny Depp could portray or indeed anyone who could take the part of a younger him-he’s so unique! @Heavenlyink
Zac Efron and Mark Hamill could definitely play each other! I’ve always thought young Mark as Luke Skywalker looked so much like Zac Efron in High School Musical… Plus it would be amazing to see Mark on the big screen again!
@AmandaW21
Julia Roberts and Monica Potter!
oh I think no one could pull of Nick Cage…his voice and walk…except if he really is a vampire…then he can play himself in a couple of year…lol @Byrdy1999
Saoirse Ronan and Cate Blanchett.
Josh Hutcherson and Tom Cruise
Chris Hemsworth and Russel Crowe

If they ever made a film version of Frasier, Uggie from The Artist would be a dead cert to play Eddie Crane.
