Perth Amboy, New Jersey – A reunion of cinematic talents from a beloved classic is on the horizon, as Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Robert Zemeckis, and Eric Roth team up again for a new film project. The acclaimed quartet, known for their work on the award-winning film “Forrest Gump” in 1994, has now collaborated on a new movie titled “Here,” based on artist Richard McGuire’s work.
Richard McGuire, a multidisciplinary artist with roots in New Jersey, gained recognition for his graphic novel “Here,” which explores the concept of time and space through a unique storytelling approach. The movie adaptation of McGuire’s novel features Hanks and Wright in leading roles, portraying characters whose lives intertwine with the evolution of a particular location across different historical periods.
The film utilizes cutting-edge technology to de-age the actors, allowing them to portray their characters at various stages of life as the narrative unfolds through different time periods. Zemeckis, in collaboration with Roth, delves into the complexities of storytelling as he brings McGuire’s vision to the screen.
“Here” transcends traditional storytelling by blending elements of history, family, and impermanence, drawing viewers into a visual journey that spans centuries. With a talented supporting cast including Paul Bettany, Michelle Dockery, and Kelly Reilly, the film promises to captivate audiences with its innovative approach to storytelling.
McGuire’s exploration of time and space, rooted in his childhood memories in Perth Amboy, serves as the foundation for a narrative that weaves together disparate historical events and personal stories. Through McGuire’s artistry, audiences are invited to contemplate the interconnectedness of past, present, and future, as seen through the lens of a single location.
As “Here” makes its way to theaters on November 15, viewers can anticipate a cinematic experience that challenges traditional notions of storytelling and invites reflection on the passage of time and the legacy of the spaces we inhabit. With the combined talents of Hanks, Wright, Zemeckis, and Roth, “Here” promises to be a thought-provoking and visually stunning exploration of the human experience.
As the release date approaches, audiences can look forward to immersing themselves in a narrative that transcends time and space, offering a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of our shared history and personal memories.
