Gemini Man Trailer #2: Which Will Smith Is the Real Bad Guy?

This October we will see Will Smith go head-to-head and toe-to-toe with his greatest adversary yet: Will Smith. This is not going to be an epic rap battle between two alternate universe Big Willies (although that would be great). No, this is a new sci-fi action movie from the director ofLife of PiandBrokeback Mountain, Ang Lee calledGemini Man. The film stars Will Smith as an aging hitman who is targeted by a younger clone of himself. And today we have the movie’s new trailer to share with you guys.

Now even though I poked a bit of fun at directorAng Leeabove by mentioning his non-action movies, you need not worry, the man has the chops to take the helm of an over-the-top action extravaganza. And the man sure as hell knows his way around a set-piece. After all, he is the first-rate filmmaker behind such motion pictures asCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragonstarring Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, and Zhang Ziyi. And that first recentHulkmovie starring Eric Bana as Bruce Banner, Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross, and Sam Elliott as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. But maybe the less said about that movie, the better.

Anyhow, Ang Lee is not the first director that has been attached to this motion picture over the years. Oh, no. In factGemini Manhas been wallowing in development hell for nearly 20 years after being conceived initially way back in 1997. Other top-notch directors that have been attached to the movie off and on throughout the past 20 years have beenThe Taking of Pelham 123andThe Last Boy Scoutfilmmaker Tony Scott,The Hand that Rocks the Cradleand8 Miledirector Curtis Hanson, andBlood, Guts, Bullets, and OctaneandThe A-Teamhelmer Joe Carnahan.

And for the record,Will Smithis not the first actor attached to the dual lead roles in the film either. Over the years the project has seen actors such as Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood, and Sean Connery come and go.

But yeah, now the film stars Will Smith as Henry Brogen and hisyounger clone Junioralong withSin CityandKing Arthuractor Clive Owen as his ruthless former boss who creates the pesky clone to kill him.Live Free or Die HardandScott Pilgrim vs. the Worldactress Mary Elizabeth Winstead rounds out the cast as Danny along with Benedict Wong as Baron, Linda Emond as Lassiter, and Theodora Miranne as Kitty.

As mentioned above, Ang Lee directsGemini Manfrom ascreenplay written by Billy Rayalong with David Benioff and Darren Lemke based on a story by Lemke and Benioff.
