The director shoots with an M6 and Mamiya 645. Bought the M6 before Looper.

This the story I read months ago:

For one second each, and I couldn't really make out a Leica for sure at 0:36. Guess my vision ain't what it used to be.

While on the subject of photography on set, a notably famous and skilled photographer was Yul Brynner. After his death his daughter published a very good book of his photos. Lots of fun picking the camera gear appearing in the photos where it was Brynner himself in frame. Leicas, Nikons, Pentaxes all make an appearance together if memory serves me correct some other German cameras.

Love this shot (I knew Leicas have been around for a long time but..................):
