Tom Hanks has been on our movie screens for 40 years now, and viewers will soon turn back the clock thanks to Robert Zemeckis's new film Here, which features a de-aged Hanks looking very much like he did back in those early roles from the '80s and '90s.
Here follows a single location throughout history, with all the scenes filmed from the same angle in the exact same position — from the dinosaurs through various generations of a household. The focus of the film is a couple named Richard (Hanks) and Margaret (Robin Wright), who have been digitally de-aged (and well as aged) to appear throughout various decades of their lives.
It's a neat-looking concept and the de-aging looks quite realistic, although the actors' ever-so-slight uncanny valley appearance (created with the AI tool Metaphysic Live) might make some viewers uneasy. It's definitely much less weird than Hanks looked in The Polar Express — which was another Zemeckis film, incidentally.
Watch Here's trailer below. It opens November 15 through VVS Films in Canada.
