Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, known for their roles in the 1994 film “Forrest Gump,” will star in a new movie directed by Robert Zemeckis. This innovative film features de-aged versions of the actors portraying their characters over several decades, showcasing the characters’ journey from high school sweethearts to spouses. The film is an adaptation of Richard McGuire’s 2014 graphic novel “Here,” with a narrative set in a single living room over 100 years.
Scheduled for release on November 15th, the film “Here” is directed by Zemeckis and co-written by Zemeckis and Eric Roth, the creative team behind “Forrest Gump.” The story captures the lives of multiple families across generations, focusing on their deep connection to a particular place – a family home – and aims to depict the human experience in its most authentic form.
The movie’s unique storytelling approach involves a stationary camera, precisely portraying how a family home evolves and changes hands over generations, spanning even back to prehistoric times. Tom Hanks showcases his character’s journey from youth to old age, offering a poignant portrayal of the passage of time.
With attention to detail, both Tom Hanks and Robin Wright have dedicated themselves to authentically portraying their characters from decades ago, requiring them to embody the mannerisms and energy of their younger selves. This commitment adds depth and realism to their performances in the film.
While the film predominantly centers around the characters played by Paul Bettany and Kelly Reilly, it also delves into the lives of previous occupants of their residence. The ensemble cast includes talented actors such as Michelle Dockery, Gwilym Lee, David Fynn, and Ophelia Lovibond, promising an engaging portrayal of interconnected family stories.
