‘Here’: Tom Hanks Reuniting With ‘Forrest Gump’ Team!!

The project that will reunite the talent of Robert Zemeckis, Eric Roth, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright after the historical success of Forrest Gump has set a release date, according to Deadline. Titled Here, the movie will premiere in Los Angeles and New York City on November 15, before receiving a limited release across the country on November 22. After that, the film is set to receive a wide release on November 27, allowing the majority of viewers to enjoy it just in time for the holidays. A lovely story about a community’s legacy will debut on the big screen a few months from now, setting the stage for the awaited reunion between the filmmaker and the lead stars.

Robert Zemeckis is known for producing stories that can be enjoyed by the entire family, just like he did when he worked on the Back to the Future trilogy. And judging by the premise of Here, there’s a chance his latest project might follow the same path. The movie will follow multiple families and the special place they inhabit, as the narrative stretches over the course of multiple generations’ lives. The human experience and what it makes valuable will be at the center of the upcoming movie, which will compete at the box office with titles such as Moana 2 and Wicked.

Here will also mark a special reunion for those involved. Forrest Gump earned $678 million at the global box office, which is very impressive considering how the movie starring Hanks and Wright was released almost thirty years ago. The lovely story about a young man recounting the events that shaped his life won major Academy Awards and has remained a modern classic in the hearts of audiences. It’s time for the brilliant minds behind that story to delight the entire world once again with Here.
