Mary Elizabeth Winstead To Co-Star In Gemini Man

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mary Elizabeth Winstead will star with Will Smith in Ang Lee’s upcoming action-thriller Gemini Man. Skydance and Paramount are putting together the film, which will begin production next month. Winstead managed to beat Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany for the role. She will play an operative who works for the same time as one of Smith’s characters, who was ordered to spy on him. She eventually teams up with him.

Smith will play two roles in the film. The first is Henry, “an aging assassin who wants to get out of the business.” The second is Henry’s clone, who is 25 years younger and has been hired to kill him. Clive Owen is in talks to play the head of the cloning company.

Jerry Bruckheimer will produce with David Ellison and Dana Goldberg. Don Murphy will produce.
