One photo shows Tom and Robin in their younger years in the living room of their home. Another photo shows the two characters on their wedding day, when family and friends gather at home to celebrate their special day. One photo shows the two on Christmas Day in the 1970s. Another photo from the film shows the audience a few decades later, with the two characters celebrating their 50th birthday together.
Here is based on Richard McGuire’s 2014 graphic novel, which in turn was adapted from a comic strip the artist created in 1989. Here is told entirely from a fixed point of view, where the camera stays in one room as the characters spend most of their lives in that space. Tom plays Richard while Robin plays his wife, Margaret.
About here
Robert Zemeckis talked about the film and told Vanity Fair, “I’ve always been considered a visual effects guy for some reason. But they were always there to enhance the character of the character. There’s always been a discomfort in trying. I’ve always thought that our job as filmmakers is to show the audience things they don’t see in real life.”
He added, “It only works because the performances are so good. Both Tom and Robin immediately understood that, ‘Okay, we have to go back and be like we were 50 years ago or 40 years ago, and we have to bring that energy, that kind of posture, and raise our voices. Things like that.”
This film will be released in theatres on 15th November.
