A new trailer has been released by Paramount Pictures for the new Gemini Man 2019 movie premiering in theatre screens worldwide later this year from October 11th, 2019 onwards. Gemini Man is an action thriller starring Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen, and Benedict Wong and has been directed by Ang Lee. “Henry Brogen, an aging assassin seeking to exit his career, finds himself going against a younger clone of himself who can predict his every move.”
Plot and Characters
“Gemini Man is an innovative action-thriller starring Will Smith (#WillSmith) as Henry Brogan, an elite assassin, who is suddenly targeted and pursued by a mysterious young operative that seemingly can predict his every move. The film is directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ang Lee and produced by renowned producers Jerry Bruckheimer, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger.“
The plot revolves around Henry Brogan, a seasoned assassin who decides to retire after a long career. However, his plans are thwarted when he becomes the target of a younger clone of himself. This younger clone, also played by Will Smith, possesses the same skills and abilities, making him a formidable opponent. The film delves into themes of identity, aging, and the ethical implications of cloning technology.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Danny Zakarweski, a fellow agent who becomes an ally to Henry. Clive Owen portrays the antagonist, Clay Verris, who is behind the cloning project. Benedict Wong plays Baron, a friend and former colleague of Henry who provides support in his fight against his clone.
Production and Development
“Originally conceived in 1997, the film went through development hell for nearly 20 years. Several directors, including Tony Scott, Curtis Hanson, and Joe Carnahan, were all attached at some point and numerous actors, including Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood, and Sean Connery, were set to star.”
The concept of Gemini Man has been in Hollywood for over two decades. The idea of an older assassin facing off against a younger version of himself intrigued many filmmakers and actors. However, the technology to convincingly portray the same actor at different ages was not available until recently. Advances in CGI and de-aging technology have finally made it possible to bring this story to life.
Ang Lee, known for his work on films like “Life of Pi” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” brings his unique vision and expertise to Gemini Man. His direction aims to blend cutting-edge technology with compelling storytelling. The film also boasts high frame rate (HFR) technology, which enhances the visual experience by providing smoother and more realistic action sequences.
The trailer showcases intense action scenes, emotional moments, and the impressive visual effects used to create the younger version of Will Smith. The film promises to be a thrilling ride that explores complex themes while delivering high-octane entertainment.
In addition to the main cast, the film features a talented crew behind the scenes. Jerry Bruckheimer, known for producing blockbuster hits like “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Top Gun,” brings his expertise to the project. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, who have worked on films like “Mission: Impossible” and “Star Trek,” also contribute their production skills.
Gemini Man is set to be a groundbreaking film that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with modern filmmaking technology. With a compelling story, a talented cast, and visionary direction, it is poised to be one of the most talked-about movies of the year.
