Many big names (including Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson) have been attached to Gemini Man along its 20-year journey to the screen, but it finally arrives with Will Smith in the starring roles of Henry Brogan and his clone. ![]() But it's still only now, following some reasonably convincing examples of de-ageing and digital face replacement in things like Rogue One and the Marvel movies, that the tech has finally been deemed good enough for Gemini Man to happen. After The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button there was increased optimism. The issue that's kept the film in development hell has been that the technology needed to achieve it wasn't quite in place. The idea and various screenplay drafts pre-existed the ultimately similar Looper_._ But while Looper cast Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as, respectively, the older and younger Joe, Gemini Man's gimmick has always been a single actor playing both ages. younger face-off only one of them can survive.

So, although Jaden was not in Gemini Man with his father, they have been in a few films together.Gemini Man is a film that's been floating around in Hollywood development for a long time – literally decades. This is the last film that Jaden was in as he says he wants to focus on his music career instead. It is a post-apocalyptic film set in the future. This one was more of a family affair as not only did Will act in it with Jaden, he also produced it and created the story. In 2013, Jaden acted in another film with his father, After Earth. ![]() In this film, Smith has a starring role as a child getting trained in Kung Fu by Jackie Chan’s character.

So, it is not Jaden Smith in Gemini Man, it is a computer generated version of his father Will Smith. This was created with clips of Will in Bad Boys, Six Degrees of Separation and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This version of Will Smith is bulkier as his character was raised by military parents. The younger version of Will Smith used in the film does not look exactly as Will did when he was younger starring in television shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The current version of the film used motion capture and footage from Will Smith’s extensive past movie and television career to create the younger version of himself. The Gemini Man film was meant to be made in 1997, but there were technological issues in creating a younger version of the intended main character. Since Will and Jaden have also been in various films together, it was not outside the realm of possibilities that Jaden could have been in the film.
