Though Gemini Man hasn't started shooting yet, it's sure to be one of the most talked-about movies to hit screens between now and the release of Star Wars Episode IX.

It's a nutty premise with a ton of potential that speaks for itself, and seeing a filmmaker of Lee's calibre teaming with a veritable star like Smith could result in a movie that's both an Oscar contender and a box office smash.

Plus, Smith can finally redeem himself for his last sci-fi film, M. Night Shyamalan's disastrous After Earth.
