Visual storytelling is necessarily a collaborative endeavor, which means there are multiple points where everything can go wrong. The good news is we can now eliminate some of the most unpredictable variables of the process — the onscreen talent. Mainstream movies and television are increasingly hopping aboard the deepfake bandwagon, so get ready for a creep-ass cinematic future.
5 The Book of Boba Fett
The CGI de-aging of Mark Hamill on The Mandalorian was slammed into space, so the producers of The Book of Boba Fett decided they could make a better Mark Hamill than Mark Hamill. He just stayed home while they hired some guy off YouTube to deepfake young Luke Skywalker without even the benefit of Hamill’s iconic voice. Was it cheaper? Almost certainly. Was it also worse? Oh, yes.

In Back to the Future one of the main characters of the story is George McFly – Marty McFly's father. His character was played by Crispin Glover.
In Back to the Future Part II this character is also present. But did you notice that he is played by a different actor? Probably not. But this change became the basis for significant changes in the film industry.
Glover Refused to Star in Back to the Future Part II
On the set of Back to the Future Robert Zemeckis and Crispin Glover had an argument – the actor thought that the ending of the movie was wrong, because it carried the message that wealth makes you happy.
Zemeckis corrected the script slightly, but the misunderstanding between the director and the actor remained. The explosion occurred during the preparations for the shooting of the second part. Glover returned the script with a refusal: the...

Update: Previously scheduled to be released on November 15th, Here has moved forward two weeks and is now set to receive a wide theatrical release on November 1st.
The original article follows:
With Here, Robert Zemeckis yet again takes audiences on a journey through time, with the core leads from Forrest Gump — Tom Hanks and Robin Wright — in tow. Plus, he’s using advanced special effects technology for de-aging for the cast. And now, thanks to Sony Pictures, we’ve got our first look at this buzzy flick in the trailer, which is embedded above!
Scripted by Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth and based on Richard McGuire’s 2014 graphic novel of the same name, Here takes place across a century in a single location: a home that is, over time, inhabited by the likes of a couple at the turn of the 20th century (Michelle Dockery and Gwilym Lee), an...

In „Here“ hat Regisseur Robert Zemeckis wieder mit seinen Stars aus „Forrest Gump“, Tom Hanks und Robin Wright, zusammengearbeitet. Sony hat den US-Start jetzt um zwei Wochen vorgezogen.
Nachdem Sony den breiten US-Kinostart von Robert Zemeckis‘ „Here“ via TriStar Pictures erst am vergangenen Freitag für den 15. November terminiert hatte, hat das Studio ihn jetzt auf den 1. November vorverlegt.
In „Here“ haben Tom Hanks und Robin Wright, mit denen Zemeckis bei „Forrest Gump“ zusammengearbeitet hatte, die Hauptrollen übernommen. Beschrieben als eine „Odyssee durch Zeit und Erinnerung, die sich um einen Ort in Neuengland dreht, an dem sich – zunächst in der Wildnis und später in einem Zuhause – Liebe, Verlust, Kampf, Hoffnung und Vermächtnis zwischen Paaren und Familien über Generationen hinweg abspielen“ erzählt „Here“ die Geschichte einer Familie über Generationen und Zeiten hinweg.
In Deutschland bringt Dcm „Here“ am 12. Dezember in die deutschen Kinos.

Sony Pictures has moved up the release of TriStar’s “Here,” the upcoming drama that reunites “Forrest Gump” trio Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, to Nov. 1.
Also starring Michelle Dockery and Paul Bettany, the film focuses on a single spot of land from the creation of Earth to the present day, eventually focusing on a couple that gets married and moves into the house that is built on that land.
“Here” was previously set for release on Nov. 15, but now has some space from two major tentpole films: Universal’s “Wicked” and Paramount’s “Gladiator II.”
The movie will now be released alongside a pair of specialty titles with Oscar potential: Focus Features’ Vatican thriller “Conclave” starring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, and Searchlight’s Sundance acquisition “A Real Pain” starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin. Unlike those films, “Here” will be a wide release.

Updated with new release date: Sony said Tuesday that it will now open Miramax’s Here, the reteam of Forrest Gump filmmaker Robert Zemeckis and its stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, on November 1. It’s the only studio theatrical release going wide on that day after Samuel Goldwyn’s Liam Neeson title Absolution, Viva’s animated Hitpig and the George Huang-directed Luke Evans movie Weekend in Taipei. There’s been no buzz that Here will land a place at the fall’s film festival troika of Toronto, Venice and Telluride.
Previously, June 21: Sony said Friday that its new film Here, reuniting the director, writer, and stars of the classic Forrest Gump, will open wide via TriStar Pictures on November 15.
Previously, the film had been scheduled for an exclusive run in Los Angeles in New York on that date, with a limited and wide release to follow on November 22 and November 27, respectively.

Wyatt Russell was born to Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn on July 10, 1986, eight days after "Big Trouble in Little China," his pop's third and lamentably final big-screen collaboration with John Carpenter, bombed at the box office. The martial arts action-fantasy movie didn't seriously damage Russell's career, but it did alter its trajectory a tad. Just about everything after "Big Trouble in Little China" was a two-hander or an ensemble piece. Though he could still mess around in nonsense like "Overboard" and "Captain Ron," he couldn't dominate a movie with a broad, endearingly dopey hero like Jack Burton anymore.
Kurt Russell has many different modes, but I grew up with a preference for his swaggering himbos, guys who were so supremely confident in their capabilities that, like Wile E. Coyote, they didn't realize how far off the edge of the cliff they'd run. Watching a lug like Burton scramble out of...

If the first thought that crossed your mind after you came across the title, the trailer, or clips from Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie was, “Haven’t I already seen this movie before?” Well, you’re not wrong. Earlier this year, this movie was leaked on Twitter, and it was up for about 5 hours on the social platform before it was taken down. But, since nothing on the internet ever gets deleted, it was downloaded and shared in various formats. Hence, the movie has been unofficially reviewed and rated across many platforms. As someone who happens to be chronically online, I did take a peek at it. However, as soon as I realized that it was an unfinished product, I peeled my eyes away from it. And I am so glad that I did because Saving Bikini Bottom is silly, fun, and delivers a surprisingly relevant commentary on consumerism.

As this year heralds the 30th anniversary of the much-loved film Forrest Gump, we can’t help but reminisce about the box of chocolates that is life, so eloquently depicted in this timeless cinematic gem. Showered with six Oscars, including the trifecta of Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director, Robert Zemeckis’ 1994 masterpiece threaded the tale of a sweet but simple-minded everyman, portrayed to perfection by Tom Hanks.

Yet, beneath the accolades and the movie’s warm blanket of nostalgia, there is a tale of a different tune. Winston Groom, the original author of the Forrest Gump novel, cast a less-than-enchanted eye on the adaptation that strayed from his unique vision, a vision that the film had, perhaps, dimmed.
But this is not all. The film earned some contrasting opinions, including those from Groom and other critics, like Taylor Sheridan.

Talk about getting the band back together! After going toe-to-toe with a legion of gun-toting criminals in 2021’s Nobody, Christopher Lloyd will reload his shotgun to star alongside Bob Odenkirk in the highly anticipated sequel, Nobody 2. The veteran actor known for his show-stopping roles in Robert Zemeckis’s Back to the Future trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Addams Family, and more will join Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, and Sharon Stone for the action-packed spy thriller.
Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto helms Nobody 2 based on a screenplay written by Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Odenkirk, and Umair Aleem. Nobody surprised the box office by grossing $57.5 million after spending $16 million on production. Fans of Odenkirk’s bullet-riddled thriller have waited patiently for the sequel to take shape, with all-time high hype to see Odenkirk’s Hutch Mansell back on screens.

Doch im kommenden Jahr will der Superstar endlich wieder neue Projekte in Angriff nehmen, darunter eine Zusammenarbeit mit Alejandro González Iñarritu und ein Projekt, das bei Fans als „The Gnarly Movie“ bekannt ist – ein harter Actionfilm mit R-Rating, von dem Cruise und Christopher McQuarrie seit Längerem reden. Lange hatte man gedacht, sie könnten damit ein Remake des Clint-Eastwood-Hits „Der Mann, der niemals aufgibt“ (sprich: „The Gauntlet“) von 1977 meinen.

I've grown very fond of the "Terrifier" series — and I was not expecting this to happen. While I appreciated the practical gore effects, I found the first "Terrifier" movie to be a disappointment — it was a series of bloody moments with no real story to tell; an excuse to gross out audiences without much thought. Then came "Terrifier 2." Taking the criticisms of the first film to heart, writer-director Damien Leone decided to step things up and made a rather epic sequel. The results were big, weird, and pretty damn entertaining, and while there were still some flaws here and there, I came away impressed (you can read my review of the sequel right here). After "Terrifer 2," I've come to really appreciate the gruesome go-for-broke, DIY nature of this franchise, and I'm quite excited for "Terrifier 3," which drops new slasher icon Art the Clown into a Christmastime setting.

The 62nd edition of the New York Film Festival will kick off with RaMell Ross’s “Nickel Boys,” an adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Nickel Boys.”
Film at Lincoln Center made the announcement early Monday and notably didn’t specify a premiere designation for the film, perhaps an indication that “Nickel Boys” will have its world premiere at another festival such as the Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, or Venice Film Festival.
“What an absolute honor for ‘Nickel Boys’ to open the 62nd New York Film Festival… a daydream really, for the crew, the cast, and team who’ve committed so wholeheartedly to its vision,” Ross said in a statement. The filmmaker’s debut documentary, “Hale County This Morning, This Evening,” was previously screened at the 2018 edition of New Directors/New Films at New York City’s Lincoln Center.

Robert Zemeckis couldn't have asked for a more propitious start to his filmmaking career. Soon after graduating from University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in 1973, Zemeckis, on the strength of his award-winning student film, found a powerful young mentor in Steven Spielberg. The "Jaws" maestro was Universal Pictures' in-house wunderkind, so when he flipped out over "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," a raucous comedy, written by Zemeckis and his creative partner Bob Gale, about a trio of young girls desperate to attend the live taping of The Beatles' first performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," the studio greenlit it -- even though Zemeckis was completely untested as a feature director.
Five years later, Zemeckis' was very close to finished in Hollywood.

Robert Zemeckis’s re-released fantasy is entirely ridiculous, hokey-sentimental and politically naive, but it’s superbly paced and expertly acted
• This article contains spoilers for Forrest Gump
Robert Zemeckis’s comedy drama is rereleased for its 30th anniversary, starring Tom Hanks as its savant-patriot hero goof from the fictional town of Greenbow, Alabama. It is adapted from Winston Groom’s bestseller from the Reaganite 80s, but the movie arrived for the presidency of Bill Clinton, who had his own Gump body-language, and it happens to contain a complimentary remark about his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas.
And every time I watch it, I swear that this entirely ridiculous, hokey-sentimental and politically naive fantasy isn’t going to get under my skin but every time it does. It is superbly paced, expertly acted, it looks great, and there is a kind of needling, sleeve-tugging genius in Hanks’ performance, despite that outrageous Jimmy-Stewart-with-a-head-injury voice.

Furthermore, the film went on to win the Best Picture Academy Award, beating one of Quentin Tarantino’s best films in the form of Pulp Fiction. Despite beating the Tarantino film at the prestigious awards, Hanks had nothing but praise for the crime film.

Celebrity divorces have always been a subject of fascination among people, and Steven Spielberg’s 1989 split from his then-wife Amy Irving was no exception. The chatter was loud and clear, especially when it came to the jaw-dropping $100 million Spielberg reportedly lost due to their unconventional prenuptial agreement.

Back in March, we heard that production had wrapped on the Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, which is coming our way from the team of producer / genre regular James Wan and director Osgood Perkins, whose credits include The Blackcoat’s Daughter (a.k.a. February), I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, Gretel & Hansel, and the upcoming Nicolas Cage horror film Longlegs , which will be reaching theatres on July 12th (you can read our review Here), courtesy of Neon – and they’ll also be be giving The Monkey a theatrical release on February 21, 2025. So we’ll be getting two Osgood Perkins movies from Neon just seven months apart – and while doing the press rounds for Longlegs, Perkins has revealed that he has made The Monkey “deliberately comedic.”

Netflix has just added a legendary film series to its catalog, and it’s none other than the groundbreaking Back to the Future trilogy. First released in 1985, these films have become timeless classics that blend science fiction with comedy, adventure, and heartfelt drama. The creative journey of this iconic trilogy started long before its 1985 debut. Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, the two masterminds behind the series, met in a Cinema 290 class at USC in 1971. Their collaboration laid the foundation for what would become one of the most beloved trilogies in film history. The Creation of an Iconic...

Nailing the final entry of a classic cinematic trilogy is always the most difficult to get right. Tasked with sticking the landing and tying the narrative strands across three movies together requires a precise amount of pre-planning that must be executed in ways that both trump its predecessors and satisfy fans at once with a compelling conclusion. Every once in a while, we get perfect trilogy-enders like The Good, the Bad and The Ugly, The Return of the King, or The Last Crusade. But more often than not, we get limp and lackluster results like The Godfather Part III, Jaws 3D, Terminator: Rise of the Machines, Alien 3, Back to the Future 3, Men in Black III, and countless other movies that fail to live up to the first two instalments. That begs the question, where does Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome register on the scale of all-time good or bad final chapters in movie trilogies?...

Walt Disney brought in Steven Spielberg as a producer to turn Gary K. Wolf’s 1981 novel into Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988. Mark Sturdivant and Terry Gilliam were the initial choices for producer and director, however, they dropped out due to too much work. Spielberg’s addition brought his protege Robert Zemeckis into the film, who gained popularity in the Hollywood circles with his Back to the Future project.

Spielberg and Zemeckis’s successful collaboration in the film led the studio to plan another film. What they came up with was a prequel project that was set before the original, with the Nazis as the satirical villain. However, the Jaws director was not on board with the idea and Disney eventually shelved the film.

Brad Pitt will be next seen in Joseph Kosinski’s sports drama F1, which is currently being filmed at the British Grand Prix at the Silverstone race track. The Formula-One race drama also stars Damson Idris and Javier Bardem in lead roles and is co-produced by Lewis Hamilton.
While the film is being shot at real F1 locations around the world, the decision would have caused a huge loss to the film’s production during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer reportedly had a workaround to avoid re-shoots.

In 2010 the academy reintroduced the preferential ballot to decide the Best Picture winner. Over the ensuing 14 years, there has been a difference between the winners of that award and Best Director at six Academy Awards ceremonies. Prior to this such splits were fairly rare. Why the change? (Scroll down for our updated 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Director.)
At the Oscars, the winner of Best Picture is determined by a weighted ballot and the outcomes of the other 22 races, including Best Director, are decided by a popular vote. While voters simply select one nominee in those other races, when it comes to Best Picture they are asked to rank all the nominees. If one contender garners more than 50% of the first-place votes, it wins. If, however, no nominee crosses that threshold, the film with the fewest first-place votes is eliminated, with its ballots being reapportioned to the second-place pick. This process...

The story unfolds from a single, unchanging perspective, presenting over a century of life in one American living room during its 104-minute run. The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does, Zemeckis reveals. This innovative approach isn’t new to him, having previously combined groundbreaking visual effects with strong character arcs in movies like Cast Away and A Christmas Carol.

Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon; John Lennon; and talk show host Dick Cavett. When the movie first opened, Hanks told us he was in awe of what those scenes looked like on the screen.

Legend has it that every turning point in American history was marked by the presence and influence of an elusive and mythical Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks’s 1994 film, directed by the legendary Robert Zemeckis, was powerful enough to move souls and shape ideas even decades after its critically acclaimed release.

Although Forrest Gump developed into an instant classic and a global phenomenon upon release, the film was shrouded in troubled production and studio politics at the time of its making. From problems related to the rights to the IP to slashing of the film’s budget, the uphill battle that Hanks and Zemeckis weathered to get Forrest Gump on the road is a tale in and of itself.

Exactly 30 years ago, Tom Hanks joined forces with Robert Zemeckis to create a film that would be etched in cinematic history forever — Forrest Gump. Sherry Lansing was at the top of Paramount at the time and the film was the biggest gamble during her time at the studio. Interestingly, the rights for the script based on Winston Groom’s book were owned by Warner Bros.

Tom Hanks is an affecting lead but the popularity of Robert Zemeckis’s much-loved Oscar-winner is still a curious mystery
In the 30 years since becoming a box-office phenomenon, en route to winning six Oscars, including best picture, director, actor and adapted screenplay, Forrest Gump has settled into the culture as a significant achievement, canonized by its induction into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry – and, to a slightly lesser extent, by the few dozen Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurants worldwide. Other best picture nominees may be more beloved, like The Shawshank Redemption, or influential, like Pulp Fiction, but none that captured the public imagination on quite the same scale.
And yet it’s still worth asking, after all this time: What is the deal with this movie? What is it actually trying to say?...

George Lucas changed the world when he created the space opera Star Wars. The filmmaker told a story of a rebellion against a galactic empire that was set in a galaxy far away and it was the highest-grossing film of all time back when it was released in 1977.
Lucas’ sci-fi franchise has been extremely influential since then and has inspired generations of filmmakers. While his directorial debut Thx 1138 was a box-office bomb, the film was reportedly screened for students at his alma mater USC School of Cinematic Arts, which was attended by a young Robert Zemeckis, who would go on to make Back to the Future.

In cinematic history, few films have managed to capture the hearts of audiences quite like Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale’s Back to the Future. The film is the perfect comedy of science-fiction, comedy, and drama and it is impossible for movie lovers to think of a world without Back to the Future. However, there was a time when no one wanted to bet on the film.

That’s right. While Back to the Future is as iconic as iconic gets, many studios turned a blind eye to the script for one reason or the other. But then there was Steven Spielberg who always saw the potential in the film and eventually was able to get himself the last laugh.

In his latest film Here, director Robert Zemeckis explores uncharted territory yet again by embracing cutting-edge AI technology to de-age his actors.

The other night I was having dinner with a couple of industry veterans, both Oscar voters, who told me they had been talking to a top producer-financier who had seen two big studio movies coming out later in the year and both were fantastic.
The producer very enthusiastically praised Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, said Paul Mescal was terrific and Denzel Washington extraordinary in it. He also saw the new Robert Zemeckis film Here, which stars and de-ages Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, also reuniting them from the 1994 Zemeckis film Forrest Gump. Both that one and Scott’s 2000 Gladiator took Best Picture and now it appears both veteran directors will be back in the race — big time. Scott still has yet to win an Oscar, having been overlooked four times in the director race.

By Alex – June 30, 2024 Sony Pictures has officially dropped the trailer for Here, Robert Zemeckis’s newest film set to hit theaters this November. Known for pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling, Zemeckis brings us a unique narrative that unfolds in a single living room over a span of 100 years. A bold move reminiscent of early silent movies, as noted by Zemeckis himself: The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does. The film captures the essence of different families inhabiting the same space across generations, from the age of dinosaurs to futuristic settings. Prepare to witness...

In the ever-changing landscape of pop culture, where trends flicker faster than a lightbulb, one franchise managed to stand as a beacon across the generations; and it’s none other than Back to the Future. But while the films’ success was largely credited to the titular star Michael J. Fox, his paycheck spoke otherwise.

Back to the Future is a true sci-fi masterpiece developed under the cinematic canvas of Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter Bob Gale. However, even a movie of such caliber and star cast had a slew of rejections before it was released, including multimedia titans like Disney, which gave the film a hard pass.

Tom Hanks is known for his particular brand of common men who are in extraordinary situations. The actor has won two Oscars for his performances in the films Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, which he won consecutively. He has also been nominated numerous times in the Best Actor and Supporting Actor categories.
However, one of his most celebrated performances, which almost killed him did not receive any love from the Academy. During an interview, Oprah Winfrey was surprised by Hanks’ snub for Cast Away. However, the legendary actor was reportedly not shocked as he knew how the Academy functioned.

The reunion of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright with director Robert Zemeckis in the new film Here promises an intriguing cinematic journey through time. Here is not your typical period drama. Rather than shifting scenes or locations, the film’s perspective remains fixed within a single American living room, with time moving swiftly across more than a century in just 104 minutes. Zemeckis elaborates, The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does, emphasizing the novelty of this approach. This method is reminiscent of early silent films before the advent of montage and editing techniques. For the audience, it means...

It’s about time.
Thirty years after “Forrest Gump,” stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright and director Robert Zemeckis have reunited for the new film “Here.” The upcoming feature – based on the graphic novel by Richard McGuire, and co-written by Zemeckis and “Forrest Gump” screenwriter Eric Roth – focuses on “multiple families and a special place they inhabit.” Continues the Sony plot description: “The story travels through generations, capturing the human experience in its purest form.”
But that only scratches the surface of this project, as evidenced by the film’s new trailer (watch below) and an interview Zemeckis gave Vanity Fair about the ambitious film. “Here” takes place in a single location and the camera remains fixed throughout the movie’s 104-minute running time.
“The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does,” Zemeckis explained to Vanity Fair. “It’s actually never been done before. There are similar scenes in very early silent movies,...

“If these walls could talk…” That phrase is often said about the sites of well-known historical events, but it also applies to the private places where we spend most of our lives. In his upcoming film Here, director Robert Zemeckis puts a new spin on that idea, exploring what would happen if these walls could see. Here takes place entirely from one fixed point of view. The camera never budges. It doesn’t zoom and never even turns. What does move—and rather quickly—is time.

In his latest cinematic endeavor, Here, director Robert Zemeckis explores a unique narrative perspective. Set entirely within the confines of a single American living room, the film chronicles over a century of life through the eyes of different families who have called it home. Zemeckis pushes the boundaries of conventional storytelling by anchoring the camera to a fixed point—a choice that allows time to unfurl while maintaining one constant viewpoint. Tom Hanks takes on the role of Richard, a character who ages from a teenager into his 80s through a mix of traditional makeup and digital de-aging techniques. Specifically, Hanks...
