Tom Hanks and Robin Wright are reuniting onscreen for another epic love story.
"Forrest Gump" director Robert Zemeckis and co-stars of the 1994 film, Hanks and Wright, are reuniting for an innovative film that sees de-aged versions of the two actors portray their characters over several decades from high school sweethearts to spouses.
The film is based on Richard McGuire's 2014 graphic novel of the same name and will take place in one living room over the course of a century.
Hanks and Wright can be seen in their roles as Richard and Margaret, respectively, in first-look images from "Here" released by Sony on Tuesday.

When will Tom Hanks' new movie 'Here' be released?
"Here," slated to release Nov. 15, is directed by Zemeckis, who co-wrote the script with Eric Roth.
The duo was also behind the six-time Academy Award-winning "Forrest Gump," which will celebrate its 30th anniversary next month.
What is 'Here' about?
According to Vanity Fair, the camera does not move from its position as "Here" shows how a family home changes hands − and appearance − over time, even going so far back as prehistoric times. Hanks portrays a young Richard up until he's in his 80s.
"It only works because the performances are so good," Zemeckis told the magazine.
"Both Tom and Robin understood instantly that, 'Okay, 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."
According to a Sony press release, "Here" is an "original film about multiple families and a special place they inhabit. The story travels through generations, capturing the human experience in its purest form."
Watch the trailer for 'Here'
The first trailer for "Here" was released Wednesday, teasing a "cinematic journey through time."
Using a single static shot that never changes, the footage shows the same location over many years — from the prehistoric era, when dinosaurs are seen roaming the Earth, to modern times. As centuries pass, a house where Hanks and Wright's characters live is eventually built on the land.
The trailer then teases a tale covering all the different events that occur in the same room through the characters' lives. By the end of the footage, Hanks and Wright's protagonists are now elderly and return to the room, which is now empty save for two folding chairs.
"This was our home," Hanks says. "We lived here."
Paul Bettany also appears in the trailer as the father of Hanks' character despite being 14 years younger than the actor in real life.
Who else will star in Sony's 'Here'?
The movie will primarily focus on Hanks and Wright's characters and fictional family, but it will also look back at the people who lived in their home before them.
Paul Bettany ("WandaVision") and Kelly Reilly ("Yellowstone") will play Richard's parents and actors Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey"), Gwilym Lee ("Bohemian Rhapsody"), David Fynn ("The Pembrokeshire Murders") and Ophelia Lovibond ("Minx") will also star in the film.
