Wonderful First Trailer For Robert Zemeckis’ HERE Starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright — GeekTyrant

The first trailer has been released for director Robert Zemeckis’ new film project Here, and it looks like an incredible film that tells a story in a very cool and unique way. I’m excited to experience this movie!

The movie stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright and it’s an adaptation of Richard McGuire’s graphic novel, the story of which is described as a “breathtaking and revolutionary odyssey through time and memory.”

The film centers “around a place in New England where from wilderness, and then, later, a home – love, loss, struggle, hope and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.”

It was recently revealed that the movie takes place entirely from one fixed point of view. The camera never moves, it never zooms and never even turns. The one thing that does move is the passage of time, and we get to see what that looks like in this first trailer.

Zemeckis previously talked about this, saying: “The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does. It’s actually never been done before. There are similar scenes in very early silent movies, before the language of montage was invented. But other than that, yeah, it was a risky venture.”

He adds: “That’s the excitement of it. What passes by this view of the universe? I think it’s an interesting way to do a meditation on mortality. It taps into the universal theme that everything passes.”

In the film, Hanks plays a baby boomer named Richard, “who at certain times in the story is approximately his own age of 67 but also traverses the decades thanks to traditional makeup effects, as well as digital de-aging effects. Hanks ages into his late 80s and also goes backward to when Richard was a very young man in the 1960s—looking just like two-time Oscar winner did on his TV show debut as the baby-faced star of 1980’s Bosom Buddies.”

Wright joins the story during Richard’s late teenage years “as his girlfriend and later wife, Margaret, as the couple raise their own children in the house he grew up in, and also goes from looking decades younger to old age as her lively, more adventurous character pulls her husband through the changing times.”

The movie also stars Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey), Gwilym Lee (Bohemian Rhapsody), David Fynn (The Mauritanian), Ophelia Lovibond (Guardians of the Galaxy), Nicholas Pinnock (For Life), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Knock at the Cabin), and Paul Bettany (WandaVision).

Here will be released in theaters on November 15th, and it looks like Zemeckis has made another incredible movie!
