Variety reports Curtis Hanson, director of Wonder Boys and L.A. Confidential, is in negotiations with Disney to direct Gemini Man. The action thriller follows an NSA agent who tries to retire and is targeted for death. He discovers that his assassin is a younger cloned version of himself. Jerry Bruckheimer is on to produce, with a script written by David Benioff (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Kite Runner). No actors are involved yet.
I loved L.A. Confidential and David Benioff’s work on 25th Hour was astounding. The plot sounds interesting and hopefully Hanson can come back after Lucky You, which wasn’t very well recieved.
What do you think of Gemini Man?
