Few filmmakers working in mainstream Hollywood have a track record as pristine as that of Rian Johnson<\/strong><\/a>. The filmmaker is looking forward to the release of the third film in his Knives Out<\/strong> franchise of murder mysteries, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery<\/strong><\/a>, which has already received critical acclaim<\/a>. In fact, none of his movies so far hold a “rotten” rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes; most of them are sitting in the 90s. His breakout mainstream hit was the science-fiction title Looper<\/a><\/strong>, which proved that Johnson knew his way around a studio budget. He had previously directed the cult classic indie hit Brick<\/strong><\/a>, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt<\/strong><\/a>. Over a decade after its release, Looper is witnessing a bump in viewership numbers<\/strong> on the streaming platform Starz.<\/p>\n

According to FlixPatrol, Looper was among the 10 most-watched titles on Starz<\/strong> on November 5 and November 6, when the leader board was topped by Hostile Takeover<\/strong>, a Starz hit if there ever was one. Looper reunited Johnson with Gordon-Levitt, and also featured Bruce Willis<\/strong><\/a>. Both stars play the same character but at different ages. The film also featured Emily Blunt<\/strong><\/a> in a supporting role, and saw Johnson reunite with his regular collaborators, editor Bob Ducsay<\/strong>, cinematographer Steve Yedlin<\/strong>, and composer Nathan Johnson<\/strong>. Looper followed a contract killer who is tasked with killing his older self.<\/p>\n

‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Is Gearing Up to Be a Massive Hit<\/p>\n

Looper was<\/strong> a critical and commercial hit<\/strong>, and is often ranked among the best time travel movies<\/a> of all time<\/strong>, certainly of the 21st century. Produced on a reported budget of $30 million<\/strong>, the movie grossed over $175 million worldwide<\/strong>. It paved the way for Johnson to score his biggest-ever gig, directing Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi<\/strong><\/a>, which grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide. He followed it up with the first Knives Out<\/strong><\/a>, which made more than $300 million globally. Looper holds a 93% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “As thought-provoking as it is thrilling, Looper delivers an uncommonly smart, bravely original blend of futuristic sci-fi and good old-fashioned action.”<\/p>\n

Wake Up Dead Man, which is slated for a December release on Netflix, is currently sitting at 95% score on RT. You can watch Looper at home, <\/strong>and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.<\/p>\n
