    Time sure does fly by, doesn’t it?

    “Forrest Gump” stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright are reuniting with director Robert Zemeckis in the new film “Here.”

    The emotional trailer of the Sony Pictures movie focuses only on a family’s living room. The camera doesn’t move from its one spot, nor does it zoom or spin.

    “The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does,” Zemeckis told Vanity Fair of the project. “It’s actually never been done before. There are similar scenes in very early silent movies before the language of montage was invented. But other than that, yeah, it was a risky venture.”

    The clip takes viewers on a journey, starting with the time of dinosaurs, colonial times, through the construction of the house, and the lives of the family who resided there.

    With the help of computer-generated de-aging effects, Richard (Hanks) and Margaret (Wright) will appear from their 20s and 30s to their elderly years.

    “It only works because the performances are so good,” Zemeckis said. “Both Tom and Robin understood instantly that, ‘OK, we have to go back and channel what we were like 50 years ago or 40 years ago, and we have to bring that energy, that kind of posture, and even raise our voices higher.’ That kind of thing.”

    Paul Bettany appears as Hanks’ character’s father as the movie “travels through generations, capturing the human experience in its purest form,” according to the synopsis. “It’s a tale of love, loss, laughter, and life, all of which panned right ‘Here.’ “

    Richard, who plans to become an artist, is overshadowed by his responsibilities as a husband and father in the 1970s and ’80s.

    Meanwhile, Margaret senses a ticking clock, urging Richard (her boyfriend and later husband) to break free and explore the world.

    “I think that the film speaks to the truth that we have to accept that everything changes,” Zemeckis explained. “Where we get in trouble is when we resist that reality of life, and then we get dug in and miss out on opportunities.”

    “Here” is described as “a breathtaking and revolutionary odyssey through time and memory.  The innovative story is centered around a place in New England where from the wilderness, and then, later, a home – love, loss, struggle, hope, and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.”

    The drama is based on Richard McGuire’s graphic novel, which was adapted from a comic strip created in 1989.

    The film comes as “Forrest Gump” marks its 30th anniversary.

    “We got the band back together and it was as if no time had passed,” Wright, 58, told “Entertainment Tonight” in March. “It was amazing.”

    “Forrest Gump” became the top-grossing movie in the US in 1994. The film earned 13 Academy Awards nominations and six awards, including Best Picture.

    Hanks, 67, won the Oscar for Best Actor for portraying the title character.

    While reminiscing on the film’s 25th anniversary, the actor told USA Today that the film “was an absolute crapshoot.”

    “It’s a really crazy, unique motion picture without a doubt. And it’s a movie in which the great moments that resonate are going to change depending on when you’re watching it,” Hanks said in July 2019.

    The budget for the romantic comedy was $55 million , but Paramount wanted to cut the budget by $10 million due to it being “too expensive.”

    Hanks and Zemeckis decided to contribute parts of their salaries to make up the difference in budget cuts so production could start in 1993.

    Zemeckis has also worked with Hanks on “Cast Away,” “The Polar Express” and “Pinocchio.”

    “Here” also stars Kelly Reily, Michelle Dockery and Ophelia Lovibond. It’s slated to hit theaters Nov. 15.
