The Forrest Gump crew are reunited for a new movie that spans decades, requiring some pretty nifty de-ageing tech for the actors.

The director Robert Zemeckis is working with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright again for Here, based on the graphic novel by Richard McGuire. The film follows the events that take place at one fixed location over time, from the age of the dinosaurs all the way up to now.

The real sticking point of this drama, which sees several generations move in and out of one house, is the use of de-ageing technology, which turns stars Hanks and Wright into teenagers.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that this is done through the generative AI-driven tool called Metaphysic Live.

“With Here, the film simply wouldn’t work without our actors seamlessly transforming into younger versions of themselves,” Zemeckis explained at the time.

The trailer glimpses at their future ups and downs.

Here marks a reunion for Zemeckis, Roth, Hanks and Wright, who all previously collaborated on 1994’s Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump, celebrating its 30th anniversary next month.

Sony‘s TriStar Pictures is set to release Here in theatres on November 15.
