Smith as plays Henry Brogen, an aging assassin and concerned father, as well as his younger assassin clone of himself.

“Twenty-five years ago, they made you from me! They chose me because there’s never been anybody like me. We have to end this right now!,” Smith says to his clone.

Originally based on a concept by Darren Lemke, the film has a long production history for more than 20 years. Various actors were once attached to star including Harrison Ford, Chris O’Donnell, Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson among others.

Director Ang Lee shot the film in 3D at 120 frames-per-second and 4K resolution which he similarly employed in his previous film, “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.”

Gemini Man is currently in post-production with visual effects provided by Weta Digital. The film also stars Clive Owen, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Benedict Wong, Linda Emond and Theodora Miranne.

The film is set for release on October 11, 2019 by Paramount Pictures.

Universal has released the second trailer for “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” and its as action-packed as one might expect from the franchise.

The two actors clearly have great on-screen chemistry, so it’s not a big surprise that they now have ‘Fast & Furious’ spin-off of their own.

Following the “The Fate of the Furious”, Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw now need to set their differences aside and forge an unlikely alliance to stop Brixton Lore, a criminal mastermind with destructive super human strength.

The trailer is full of over-the-top action, some of which veering into superhero territory, with Hobbs and Shaw’s reluctant partnership resulting in comedic conflict while they chase the villain.

Directed by “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch, the film co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Roman Reigns and Helen Mirren. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is set for release this summer an August 2, 2019.

Disney has dropped the first official full-length trailer for its upcoming live action film “Lion King”, and it looks like a real winner.

The Jon Favreau directed musical fantasy is a live action remake of the 1994 traditionally animated film of the same name which smashed global boxoffice records.

The latest trailer is narrated by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who voices the film’s villain, Scar, the treacherous lion who seeks to take the mantle of king. “Life’s not fair, is it, my little friend?,” he says in the trailer. “While some are born to feast, others spend their life in the dark, begging for scraps.”

We also hear Hans Zimmer’s iconic score, which made it all the more thrilling and majestic. Zimmer of course previously scored the 1994 animated version.

In addition to Ejiofor, the film features the voices of Donald Glover as Simba, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Alfre Woodard as Sarabi, Billy Eichner as Timon, Beyoncé as Nala, and James Earl Jones as Mufasa.

“The Lion King” is set to stomp into theaters July 19, 2019.

The film features Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as a Copenhagen police officer seeking justice for the murder of his partner by a mysterious man. Guy Pearce is also in the film as a shady CIA agent.

Coster-Waldau has become known lately for playing Jaime Lannister in the hit HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones.

The legendary director De Palma of course gave audiences some great classics such as “Carrie,” “Scarface,” “Dressed to Kill,” “The Untouchables”, and “Mission: Impossible” and his latest seems like another winner.

Here’s what the official synopsis says:
“In a world wracked by terror and suspicion, Copenhagen police officer Christian (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) seeks justice for his partner’s murder by an ISIS member named Imran. On the hunt for the killer, Christian and a fellow cop are unwittingly caught in a cat and mouse chase with a duplicitous CIA agent (Guy Pearce) who is using Imran as a pawn to trap other ISIS members. Soon Christian is racing against the clock — not only seeking revenge, but to save his own life.”

Saban Films is set to release Domino on May 31, 2019.
