TBC Double the Will Smith equals double the fun! DIRECTOR Ang Lee starring Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen Every so often, a sci-fi movie comes along 11 OCT that’s so blazingly original, it leaves your mind boggling for days after you’ve left the cinema. This year, Gemini Man is that movie. From the planet-sized imaginations of veteran screenwriter Darren Lemke and Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, this full-throttle thriller introduces us to Henry Brogan (Will Smith): a greying government assassin who finds himself being hunted by a younger version of himself (also played by a digitally de-aged Smith). As Brogan and his clone lock horns in a duel that neither can win, Lee pulls out some of the most audacious action sequences you’ll see all year. But when both men realise they’re being played by a higher power – shady spook Clay Verris (Clive Owen) – an uneasy truce could be their only chance for survival. Following the madcap antics of Disney’s Aladdin, it’s great to see Smith back in ‘serious’ mode – in a double-impact actioner that’s so good, you’ll want to watch it twice.

I didn’t remember Katharine Gun. I was pretty politically aware but at that point I was in America, and it obviously wasn’t really covered there at all. So I thought it was interesting that there was a story that is such a significant part of modern history that wasn’t really known about or remembered. You spoke to Gun as part of your research. What did she tell you? She’s in a tricky position because if you question her on it, she still is bound by the Official Secrets Act... So I didn’t feel it was my place to push her into revealing any more than she felt comfortable with. How tricky was combining filming with a three-year-old daughter? She was literally up five or six times a night. I think it added a particular vibe to my performance.
