The film's narrative spans over a century, capturing the lives of multiple families within a single space over generations. The camera remains fixed inside a home for the entire duration, allowing viewers to experience the changes of life—from love to loss to everything in between—within the confines of one location. This static camera position offers a unique perspective, shedding light on the passage of time and the changes it brings to the same space.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Zemeckis described the film's innovative approach to
storytelling as groundbreaking, expressing his excitement about exploring themes of mortality and change through this experimental technique.
Hanks and Wright's performances are set to be remarkable, as they undergo multiple transformations through a combination of makeup and digital effects, allowing their characters to age and appear young throughout the film. The use of new generative AI technology adding another layer of depth to the film's visual storytelling.
« Here" promises to be a visually and emotionally engaging experience, diving deeply into the beautifully unique human experience. Set to premiere on November 15, this film is sure to captivate audiences with its innovative storytelling and powerful performances.
