Sony Pictures has announced that director Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming film Here is set to hit theaters on November 15th, 2024. A ton of really interesting information was shared about the film that you can read up on here.
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright star in the movie, which is based on McGuire’s graphic novel. It’s described as a breathtaking and revolutionary odyssey through time and memory.
The movie “takes place entirely from one fixed point of view. The camera never budges. It doesn’t zoom and never even turns. What does move—and rather quickly—is time.”
The innovative story is centered 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.
The story will see Hanks and Wright as their younger selves. Zemeckis previously talked about the tech they’ll use to make this happen.
The filmmaker said: “I’ve always been attracted to technology that helps me to tell a story. With HERE, the film simply wouldn’t work without our actors seamlessly transforming into younger versions of themselves.
“Metaphysic’s AI tools do exactly that, in ways that were previously impossible! Having tested every flavor of face replacement and de-aging technology available today, Metaphysic are clearly the global leaders in feature-quality AI content and the perfect choice for this incredibly challenging, emotional film.”
Joanna Popper, Chief Metaverse Officer, CAA, added: “Metaphysic are industry leaders in using generative AI and machine learning to create photorealistic Hollywood-quality content, combined with their ethics-first approach and thought leadership they unlock an incredible opportunity for the entertainment industry and beyond.
“Artificial intelligence will have a transformative impact on content creation and intellectual property. CAA has always been at the forefront of new technological frontiers and we are excited to work with Metaphysic in bringing the most exciting opportunities to our clients and the industry.”
Thomas Graham, CEO and Co-founder of Metaphysic also mentioned: “Metaphysic is rapidly expanding the creative horizons of Hollywood and beyond. Our tools are cost-effective, movie-quality and scalable – we are being forced to reimagine how visual media is produced.
“With the support of CAA and by working on projects like ‘Here,’ Metaphysic is demonstrating the transformative power of hyperreal AI to shape the future of entertainment and to eventually help people create AI-generated, photorealistic immersive content while they own and control their data.”
The Miramax project is a big reunion for Zemeckis, writer Eric Roth, Hanks, and Wright, and this project is the first time they worked together since their collaboration on Forrest Gump.
The movie also stars Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone), Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey), and Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, WandaVision).
