Gemini Man
Will Smith play an maturate hitman who faces off with his untried clone in the trailer for Ang Lee ’s sci - fi film , Gemini Man . The labor has been in some stage of development since 1997 and , at one point , was slated to be directed by the tardy Tony Scott . Several other writers and filmmakers have worked onGemini Mansince then , but the script ’s never really been the problem . Rather , the real issue was always the technology require to create a realistic young CGI clone of the main player .
Of naturally , the Oscar - winning Lee ’s never been one to shy off from a expert challenge , much less a musical genre that he has n’t in full worked in before . The movie maker dabbled in sci - fi on 2003’sHulkand has try his hand at both three-D ( Life of Pi ) and high skeleton charge per unit moviemaking before ( Billy Lynn ’s Long Halftime Walk ) . He ’ll be tackling all three withGemini Man , which is getting its marketing up and snuff it just in sentence for the start of the summertime moving picture time of year .

Paramount showcasedthe first footage fromGemini Manat CinemaCon this month and their demonstration was an immediate succeeder . Those in attendence expressed their astonishment at the high frame rate visuals and peculiarly the technology that allows Smith to meet hisBad Boys - era ego in the picture . While the effects wo n’t be whole finalized untilGemini Manarrives in October , they ’re looking somewhat dang impressive in the trailer alone . See for yourselves in the space below , then check out the prescribed poster .
Ian Smith stars in the picture as seasoned assassinator Henry Brogen , but theGemini Mantrailer is told from the perspective of his clone , " Junior " . As see here , the latter is direct on a commission to drink down Henry by his boss , Clay Varris ( Clive Owen ) , but struggles to do so and finds himself wondering why his target seems able-bodied to anticipate his every move . Of naturally , the answer sends " Junior " spiral into an experiential crisis and wonder everything from the role behind his delegacy to his very nature and gumption of self .
It ’s a enthralling premise , all in all , and taps into some of the same theme ( like duality ) that Lee antecedently explored inHulk . Smith already seems to be doing a good business of making Henry and " Jr " find like two trenchant character in the film , and the de - aging CGI effects really are something to behold here . BetweenGemini Man , Samuel L. Jackson shedding twenty years forCaptain Marvel , and Martin Scorsese First State - aging much of his cast forThe Irishman , 2019 is form up to be a truly landmark twelvemonth for the technology in general .
