Not sure if anyone has started a thread about this movie yet. Robin Wright and Tom Hanks are back working with Robert Zemeckis and Eric Roth for the first time since Forrest Gump.
Eric Roth is adapting the movie from a 1989 comic by Richard McGuire of the same name. It's a fascinating book that shows the corner of one room throughout time from the same perspective. Each page has several panels that from different years that show what was happening in the house, from way before it was even built to way into the future. The comic was updated and rereleased in 2014. Here's a NYT article about it.

Apparently, they are taking this concept to make a movie about a single room with different people observing events throughout history. From "World of Reel"

His latest, titled "Here," stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Paul Bettany and, much like everything he does these days, it's steeped in the latest technological breakthrough. A test screening reaction is hinting that it's actually a very strong film:Quote:
It's a pretty ambitious story, just one single perspective with fade ins/fade outs to change the time into the future or past and all about a single space of a living room in one house. Tom hanks and Robin Wright are de-aged (surprisingly flawless for something still in production) and Hanks is as good and reliable as always. Zemeckis gives all the heavy and emotional moments to Wright here and she delivers a fantastic performance. Paul Bethany and Kelly Reilly are also really good and both can totally steal a supporting actor nom. This feels like a Best Picture contender for sure and maybe even script, it feels like a spiritual cousin to "Forrest Gump" with all the hopping through time and recounting important historical events of everyone who lives through this space and it's definitely in the same home of films that Hanks used to make in the 90's and stuff like Big Fish and Life of Pi; a big visual marvel.
"Here" is based on Richard McGuire's graphic novel, and tells the story of people in a single room over a long period of time. Eric Roth ("Killers of the Flower Moon") has adapted the groundbreaking novel for the screen.
In "Here," Zemeckis is, again, attempting to be at the forefront of bleeding-edge technology as the film aims to use deepfake VFX to de-age actors with the help of effects studio Metaphysic.
