STARRING WILL SMITH

and INTRODUCING WILL SMITH


Yeah, this should do okay.

 

[triplestation]

Holy shit, first off. THAT SPOILER TAG IS AWESOME.

How are you getting that effect?

nvm got it FUCKING AWESOME

On the trailer: Looks interesting enough. Throw some zombies in there and it's a few small adjustments away from I Am Legend 2.

Use [ i spoiler] instead of regular [ spoiler]

Apparently it’s an apply to images as well but I haven’t tried that

 

[EviLore]

Interesting.

"You have all of his gifts without his pain."

"This thing that you are struggling with is fear."

Parallels to After Earth, which also had a Scientology-influenced message.

[Rentahamster]

Fresh Prince vs. Hancock? Sure why not.

 

[Tesseract]

will smith is will smith in will smith, a scientology production

*edit* goddamnit lore

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

Looks good. Think I’ll actually check this out in theaters.

 

[Mista]

This seems interesting. Good cast too!

 

[GoldenEye98]

The de-aging CG is getting good...

 

[Fbh]

The concept seems interesting but it looks kinda... weird. Don't know if it's the editing or if the visual effects and post production are still very early, but if you take out the famous faces it looks like some Youtube fan film

 

[mekes]

Can Will Smith be in a good movie again? Maybe since Ang Lee is directing. Looks interesting to me! Thanks for sharing JareBear: Remastered

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

He’s shooting at 120 FPS again. I may have to catch this one at a HFR screening.

Ang Lee Preparing 120 Frames Per Second/4K/3D Release for ‘Gemini Man’

After trying out high frame rates with Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, Ang Lee is looking to continue pursuing technological advancements with his next film, which occupies a genre that may be better suited for such experimentation. Led by Will Smith, the October-bound action thriller Gemini...

[juliotendo]

Looks like it was made on a budget. If you take out Will Smith looks like a YouTube Originals production.

Framed and lit for 3D and HFR. YouTube doesn't do it justice. Any 3D movie has odd moments in 2D, including conversions. Also, Ang Lee always has bizarre framing, editing and camera movements.

Paramount is planning some sort of HFR push for this. They sent test footage to cinemas last month. The current plan is to make 60fps 3D and 120fps 2D versions in addition to the native 120fps 3D.
Billy Linn was either 120 (on four screens lol) or 24. I guess the 60fps home version sold well.



I love the additional details - all that dust and gore looks wonderful. I also thought The Hobbit was incredible in HFR.

ive scrolled past this thread a few times and each time ive read it as 'genital man'

I’ll be your Genital Man, if you want

 

[God Enel]

There’s only one Gemini man

 

[JimiNutz]

I think it looks pretty awesome and I generally enjoy Ang Lee movies.
How good is that de-aging technology as well? Fucking actors are never going to retire now, they will just digitally de-age them for years and years.

 

[DiscoJer]

Is this a remake of the TV series?

Which MST3K fans will know as the classic episode, "Riding With Death"

 

[Tesseract]

the problem with high framerate is all the assets look cheap as fuck unless you've invested in superior lighting / lenses

environment lighting looks like turd muffins at higher framerates

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Ang Lee is the Asian version of Christopher Nolan but without the consistency. Life of Pi was a bonafide masterpiece and made me a lifetime fan of Ang Lee. Looking forward to this film!

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

[zeroFiveNine]

Does Will Smith get paid double for this then?

 

[Tesseract]

that is some impressive as fuck technology tho, goddamn

also i hope the you made a person out of another person quote becomes a meme because goddamn that is some stupid shit

 

[Skyr]

Damn it's the Fresh Prince vs Will Smith.

It's not de-aging like in Marvel movies, he's fully CGI. Motion capture like in Rogue One. They've been trying to make this movie since the late '90s.

What the fuck?
Fresh Prince Will is entirely CGI? That seems crazy, why not just de-age the face?

If he's entirely CGI the that is even more impressive than I initially thought.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain are his best I think.

"You made a person out of another person?!"

Yes, that´s generally how its done.

Really, why? To make split screen easier/more consistent? It just seems like an expensive indulgence, kinda like the mocap in Alita that drove up the budget with little return in emotional investment (IMHO).

 

[Javthusiast]

Mary, Yay.

In most shots obviously fake looking uncanney valley cgi Fresh Prince, NAY.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Looks like the Visual Effects Oscar race is over.






Will Smith being excited and explaining the CGI version of himself:

“They’re using my performance to create the CGI elements,” Smith said. “What is so spectacular — and the special effects team has absolutely outdone themselves — is it’s not de-aging; the younger character is not me. That is a 100% digital character. They didn’t take my image and just stretch some of the lines. It is a completely CGI character in the same way that the lions in ‘The Lion King’ are CGI characters.

Will Smith Jokes That Younger, CGI-Version of Himself From 'Gemini Man' Should Star in a Romantic Comedy - TheWrap

The 50-year-old actor wants to get "really fat and really overweight" and let "Junior" take on future roles

[HotPocket69]

Disappointed this isn't a movie about Megaman 3

 

[sol_bad]

I can unfortunately still tell it's CGI. It's the way he is animated, it's off

 

[DiscoJer]

I hope Ben Casey from the original Gemini Man has a cameo.

 

[GoodIdeaBadIdea]

Kinda explains how they made this.

 

[Rest]

There’s only one Gemini man

"Tell me, why is it so hard for you to kill this man? Just use Search Snake."

 

[Texas Pride]

I'm in for Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She needs more work.

 

[harry04]

challenge to create a meme is accepted sir

 

[Mista]

I saw this and damn I’m hyped more now! Loving the whole idea and I love Will

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Looks like the Visual Effects Oscar race is over.

I'm definitely going to see this one in theaters. I think it looks great. Not just because of the CGI but I also like the clone idea and the action shots look pretty cool.

 

[highrider]

Love Will, it’s been tough to see him in duds like that Netflix movie. I didn’t even hate on After Earth, he earned a mediocre vanity/family movie. Looks good

 

[EviLore]

Trailer 2 has some sick action, looking forward to this one now.

 

[Punished Miku]

Will Smith as Solid Snake

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[TGO]

I like the look of this, kinda reminds of the days when Will made films like i Robot.
Jerry Bruckheimer and Will Smith tend to give good results too.
