Do you ever watch DVDs with the commentary on? Probably not that often! Rian Johnson, director of the sci-fi movie Looper, is assuming that you want to listen to the special one he recorded and posted to Soundcloud — in case you want to see it for a second time at the cinemas.
Now, I haven’t seen Looper, so I can’t say if it’s any good. But Johnson is going out of his way to entertain those going for round two by making his commentary available for download. The idea is that you can listen to what Johnson has to say about the making of the film rather than the dialogue in the movie. He says it’s different than what will be included on the DVD/Blu-ray version.
If Looper was really a great experience for you, and you plan on going back, feel free to load up the director’s commentary on your phone and listen to it through your headphones. [Looper via Ubergizmo via Crave Asia via CNET]
