Robin Wright talks about the movie HERE

In March 2024, Robin Wright talked about the movie ‘Here’. She said that she and Tom Hanks will play husband and wife over the course of 70 years, from their 20s to their 80s.

The film takes place in a single room and tells the story of the different people who have lived there.

“It spans the entirety of civilization,” Wright says. “I’m almost 60 and Tom’s 60-something. We’re never looking 32 or 19 ever again.”

But Zemeckis used a “deep fake” camera that “downloaded every piece of data we ever had on screen”.  Wright says that includes being interviewed on Entertainment Tonight at 20 and her work as Kelly Capwell on soap opera ‘Santa Barbara’.

“You could see the innocence in my eyes, and they’re translating all of that youth onto my 58-year-old-face,” Wright says. “It’s so trippy. Oh, my God. Both of our mouths fell to the ground. My first question was, ‘How dangerous is that?’ But it’s happening anyway. It’s moving so fast.”

Also, Robin Wright was especially overjoyed to spend more time with her colleagues from three decades ago.

“It was as if no time had passed,” she says. “Tom, after Forrest Gump, worked many times again with Robert Zemeckis, and I worked with him three times. And then all of us getting the band back together… you couldn’t ask for a better group to work with, and we just laughed so hard all the time.”

As for the film itself, Wright teases that audiences can expect to find themselves immersed in four different storylines, following various characters as they age from 18 to 80.

“That was a new challenge, for sure,” she says. “Because we’re doing all the acting, but, you know, the deep fake is being used to make us look younger. And in the younger scenes, we have to act physically and the voice has to change. And yeah, it was a feat… it’s so much fun.”
