Sorry, but I had to do a colossal name drop.
I just had a Twitter conversation with Rian Johnson, director of Looper and Star Wars: Episode VIII.
I didn’t get any information about The Last Jedi, but he did answer my question about his 2005 High School noir, Brick, which is the subject of my next article for TasteofCinema.com.
I’ll post the link here when the article’s done, but it might be a couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Richard
