I've been wondering about this one since I saw the teaser for the trailer (yes, they do those now) the other night.
I remember reading on Ain't It Cool News quite a few years ago about a script that was making the rounds in which an older version of a character and a younger version square off, with one chasing the other. At the time, they had planned to do it using technology similar to that used to "youthen" Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen for X3. They were trying to interest a big star to play both roles, and I remember the speculation centering around Harrison Ford and/or someone else of similar stature (Schwarzenegger, perhaps?) becoming attached to the film.
The premise of this film seems pretty different, and obviously there are two actors instead of one, but I'm wondering whether this is a heavily reworked version of that original treatment.
Does anyone remember what I'm talking about, and does anyone know whether this is in fact the final version of that original idea?
