Proposal - Inspiration From Similar Films

We chose to research this film as it has the same sci-fi theme as ours - time travel. It inspired our idea to have our opening introduce the concept of time travel, like Looper does. We also wanted our opening to end on an enigma, much like this film opening, as it ends with a character appearing and being killed with no explanation, and we plan to also portray time travel, but not fully explain it.

Title - Looper (2012)
Production Companies - Endgame Entertainment, DMG Entertainment, FilmDistrict, Ram Bergman
Distributer - Entertainment One (UK)
Synopsis - Time travel is invented by the year 2074 and, though outlawed, is used by criminal organisations to send those they want killed into the past to be killed by 'loopers', assassins paid with silver bars strapped to their targets. Joe, a looper, encounters his older self sent back to be killed, closing his loop. However, his older self escapes, determined to kill the Rainmaker.
Genre - Action/Crime/Sci-Fi
This film fits to the action genre as it includes chase scenes, as well as violence. It also fits the crime genre as it involves gang culture, as well as protagonists becoming fugitives. It fits sci-fi, as the plot revolves around time travel and telekenisis which are common features of sci-fi films.
