The action-thriller film, Gemini Man showcased the story of a former hitman who gets targeted by a clone of himself while the government is trying to nab him. The film released in 2019 after being delayed for nearly 20 years as it was conceived in 1997. Starring Will Smith in the lead alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen and Benedict Wong, the film’s action sequences and VFX became one of the most talked-about aspects of the Ang Lee directorial.
Lead actor Will Smith also took fans through the entire process of how the makers managed to showcase a younger clone of him in the movie, along with giving some exclusive BTS from Gemini Man on his YouTube channel. In 2016, the rights of the action-thriller were purchased by Skydance Media from Disney while Paramount looked after its distribution. Although the film couldn’t perform well at the box office, it was praised for several aspects, including the performance by the actors, Smith’s de-ageing, and its action sequences. However, if you’re wondering where it was filmed, then here’s everything you need to know, from ‘Gemini Man’s filming locations’ to shedding light on ‘how did they film the Gemini Man?’
