12 Essential Movies Still To Come In 2019
5. Gemini Man
From three time Oscar winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) comes the sci-fi action flick Gemini Man which chronicles an an aging hitman itching to get out of the game, Henry Brogan (Will Smith) as he comes toe-to-toe with a younger Henry Brogan (also Will Smith).
This film had been in developmental hell for twenty years before filming finally began and the combination of Ang Lee and Will Smith is one with spades of talent. The action packed trailer did not disapoint and here is hoping neither does the film itself.
The VFX used to 'de-age' Will Smith are fantastic at first look and seeing it has only amped up anticipation for the film. With Smiths character searching for answers relating to the how and why of his younger clone self who is out to kill him sets up what could be a fantastic action movie, if not compelling screen play and great science fiction coming at the tail end of the year.
Save for the number one entry on this list, this film has the most opportunity to disapoint film fans but nevertheless one can hope it delivers in the potential that it has.
