kydance and Paramount are behind the project, which is eyeing a February start.
The project sees Smith playing two opposing roles: one of Henry, an aging assassin who wants to get out of the business, and that of his ultimate opponent, a clone who is 25 years younger and at the peak of his abilities that has been tasked to kill him.
Winstead, who beat out Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany for the role, will play an operative who works for the same company as Henry and has been ordered to surveil him. However, she soon teams up with him.
Clive Owen is currently in talks to play one of the villains of the movie, the head of the cloning program.
Jerry Bruckheimer is producing along with Skydance’s David Ellison and Dana Goldberg. Don Murphy is exec producing.
Winstead, whose last movie turn was in the hit 10 Cloverfield Lane, is coming off a co-starring run in season three of FX’s acclaimed Fargo. She is repped by WME.

Will Smith has an open marriage. Will Smith has to approve any female lead in his movies. Will Smith bangs all his female costars.
I'm pretty sure she agreed to the fine print and that's why she was hired.

What's the title of this movie?
Hudson Sanchez
Holy fuck Will Smith picks the shittiest movies
Brayden Reyes
isn't that pretty much looper, sans the time travel shenanigoats?
Nicholas Hill
This is possibly the dumbest idea in Hollywood history.
This script/project has been going around for decades now, with heaps of big names attached.
The premise MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.
An aging Hitman finds out he is targeted by a younger hitman - HIMSELF! A younger clone of the hitman is out to get him, and his younger self is in his prime.
Apparently this Million Dollar Idea has remained unfilmed for now because technology has not been able to convincingly de-age an actor...
So...why don't they cast a YOUNG actor and AGE HIM UP. Which they've been able to do for decades. It is the dumbest fucking novelty idea for a movie I have ever heard.
Even worse - it's not like they're hiring Clint Eastwood or Mel Gibson - a guy in his 60's or 70's - to face off against a 20something version of himsel.
They've cast a guy in his 40's to face off against a 30's version of him.
This is beyond fucking retarded.
Henry Hill
>Don Murphy is exec producing.
Hes dead you know
Leo Rivera
Yes. Apparently they've been waiting decades for the technology to catch up.
Rather than doing the blindingly obvious and having a guy in his 30's play a guy his 60's in make up.
It's so fucking stupid.
Brandon Brown
Disgusting homewrecker whore.
Anthony Jackson
You're thinking of Don Simpson who used to make shitty movies with Jerry Bruckheimer.
This is Don Murphy, who made shitty movies with Michael Bay. Easy to mix up.
Asher Evans
Jesus fuck theyre all interchangeable
Luke Roberts
Since it's will Smith they should just hire his son to play the younger one
Kevin Wilson
She really is beautiful.
Will she be blacked?
William Watson
It's simple - Don Simpson died of a heart attack while trying to squeeze out a big shit and reading a biography of Oliver Stone. Don Murphy got slapped in the face in the middle of a crowded restaurant by Quentin Tarantino and sued him for a few hundred thousand dollars.

YOU JUST KNOW SHE LOVES BLACK COCK
Adam Lee
Not seeing any evidence against that
Ayden Nelson
I hope she's married to Riley in the movie and he unknowingly plays a role in the movie. I hope the crew break into Riley's house, tie him up and film him watching as Will Smith BLACKS MEW while Riley watches in tears. they will shoehorn in a love subplot where MEW hates her numale husband and wants Will Smith to teach him a lesson about being a man.

Isn't that just Looper and Logan? There was also a Ryan Reynolds movie like that, I think.
Cooper Thomas
Will Smith is gay and Jada is a dyke.
Hunter Allen
They already did Looper.

Evan Peterson
Ya mad Based Will fucked ur girl Margot Robbie?... twice.
Parker Long
They basically did that with Looper. Joseph-Gordon Levitt wore prosthetics to resemble Bruce Willis who played his older self. It wasn't perfect, but there was enough resemblance for it to work.
Carter Morales
