The sci-fi thriller film directed by Rian Johnson wowed viewers, and the storyline gained widespread acclaim. During an interview, the Wild Target actress stated that she accepted the offer to work in the movie Looper even before she read the complete script. The 40-year-old actress had only read half part of the script and she didn’t even know what her character was exactly. 

Before the release of the sci-fi action movie, during an interview in 2010, the actress said that she had only one scene with the Die Hard actor. While talking about her movie with Willis the actress said,

“I have one scene with Bruce and the rest is with Joe. It’s really a very cool high-concept movie that I probably will take all day if I try to explain it. But I think Rian Johnson is somewhat of a genius, and I thought ‘Brick’ was phenomenal as a movie. So I’m really excited.”

Sara, played by Blunt in the film, is a feisty girl who isn’t afraid of a challenge. The Death On The Nile actress had fun playing the role of who wasn’t afraid to shoot from a gun and wielded an ax.
