Sitting near the back of the Chinese Theatre, in between his wife and his parents, Darren Lemke watched the big Imax screen light up,He was at the Paramount-Skydance movie’s Sunday night premiere and had walked the red carpet not too far from star Will Smith and director Ang Lee.
In the mid-1990s, Lemke was working at a grocery store, pushing carts and pushing 27, writing murder-mystery theater in North Jersey. A graduate of New York City’s School of Visual Arts, he had seen his classmates enthusiastically rush to Los Angeles after graduation, then slowly return like soldiers from the warfront. He stayed behind, tapping away at the keyboard on spec scripts, all action and thriller.
In that context, the producer, Don Murphy, who had already developed a reputation for aligning himself with promising material , liked what he read enough that, after a series of conversations, he flew Lemke out on his own dime to Hollywood, putting him up at the Best Western on the Sunset Strip. “In one week, I sold two pitches,” he recalls.

Sounds terrible
Is it just that nobody wants to admit to having anything to do with that leaky trash bag of a movie? Cause I don't even want to admit that I saw it.
Excellent read. Thanks. And good for him. At last.
Lucky him.

'Gemini Man': What the Critics are SayingThe reviews give high praise to the technical accomplishment of creating a wholly digital version of Will Smith — calling it a 'game changer' for the industry — but emphasize the formulaic screenplay and stock characters. That they didn't like it. The young Will Smith looks completely fake & the movie itself is boring. However realistic a young CGI version of a mature actor can be, it takes me out of the film in a way that a younger actor playing the same role does not. I can suspend my disbelief with another actor but not for the same actor that I know is older.

Movie Theater Security Reports Suspicious Behavior After Patron Buys Ticket To ‘Gemini Man’ATLANTA—With the theater on heightened alert for unusual activity, sources confirmed Thursday that security staff at the local Bellwether Cinema 14 reported suspicious behavior on the premises after a patron purchased a ticket to the action-thriller Gemini Man. “From the moment he approached the booth and sought admission to our first screening of the movie, we knew this was a deeply disturbed individual,” employee Jennifer Mendoza said of the unidentified middle-aged male, who, with unsettling statements like “One adult for the 7:25 p.m. showing, please” and “I hear Will Smith’s great in this,” immediately caught the attention of security. “Once his ticket was torn and he made his way toward the theater where Gemini Man is playing, we realized this was a very serious situation and immediately contacted the authorities. Thankfully, the showing is completely empty apart from this one suspicious person, so any damage inflicted will be minimal. Still, it’s scary to think there are people like this out there.” At press time, local police were seen dragging the patron out of the theater after he had escalated concerns by staying to watch the film’s closing credits. Same thing happened to me when I bought a ticket to Weekend at Bernies 2. Those theater workers beat the crap out of me oh come on all Gemini's are a little odd....
