Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, the iconic duo from "Forrest Gump," reunite with director Robert Zemeckis in the highly-anticipated film "Here." Based on Richard McGuire's graphic novel, this groundbreaking movie unfolds over a century within a single location, using innovative storytelling and de-aging technology to transport viewers through time.

Excerpt: "The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does," Zemeckis explains about the film's unique concept. "It's actually never been done before...I think it’s an interesting way to do a meditation on mortality. It taps into the universal theme that everything passes.”

Hanks and Wright portray a couple whose lives unfold within the walls of a single home, their appearances transforming through the decades thanks to a combination of makeup effects and digital de-aging. Zemeckis, known for his groundbreaking use of visual effects, aims to push the boundaries of filmmaking with "Here."
 


The film also features a diverse cast of characters who inhabit the house throughout the century, including Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, Michelle Dockery, and Gwilym Lee.

While de-aging technology has faced criticism in the past, Zemeckis is confident in the performances of Hanks and Wright, believing their talent will transcend any technical limitations.
 

"Here" is set to premiere in theaters nationwide on November 15, promising a thought-provoking and visually stunning experience for audiences.
