Overview
What's better than one Will Smith? Two Will Smiths, apparently. That's how Gemini Man seems to feel, with the new sci-fi thriller starring the former Fresh Prince as an assassin with a very familiar-looking foe: a younger version of himself.
It has been three years since his last big-screen flicks, aka the immensely underwhelming Suicide Squad and Collateral Beauty — so if you're a Smith fan that's been missing the actor's presence in cinemas of late, then consider Gemini Man a two-for-one catch-up deal. If you're particularly fond of the actor's Bad Boys, Men in Black and Independence Day-era heyday, then get ready for a CGI blast from the past. And if, for whatever reason, you've always wondered what today's 50-year-old Smith would look like if he was facing off against his own 20-something clone, then prepare to find out.
Directed by Ang Lee, Gemini Man follows Smith's hitman Henry Brogan as he learns that his worst enemy really is himself — and also co-stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen and Benedict Wong.
The film hits theatres in October, after Smith goes blue in Disney's Guy Ritchie-helmed live-action Aladdin remake.
