Zemeckis' new film looks amazing (and risky)

The first release photos look amazing - the de-aging tech is getting better - and the bold decision to make an entire feature where the camera never moves must take a tremendous amount of VFX and editing technique to remain vibrant, in motion and interesting. I cannot wait to see this film (Zemeckis is one of my all-time favorite directors). Have you all heard anything about this film? https://variety.com/2024/film/news/here-first-look-tom-hanks-robin-wrigh...

Wow! This looks crazy! I cant wait to see this.

Maurice Vaughan

"The camera never moves from a fixed position inside a home for the entire 104-minute runtime, as the viewers are treated to the stories of the people who made a home there." That's really interesting, Sam Sokolow! Looking forward to checking that out.

Christopher Maes

I hope there's a story. Great CGI and technique works for the first 5 minutes, then you need compelling characters, a beginning, middle & end. But if anyone can do it, Zemeckis can.

Paul Rivers

I saw the trailer in a movie theater and I like it.

Sam Sokolow

Agreed, Paul Rivers - the trailer looks so interesting.

Pat Alexander

Not in love with de-aging, but this looks like a proper experiment to check out from a great director!

Tom Lapke

The de-aging of DeNiro in The Irishman was an abomination. I really hope it has come further since then. Especially since we know what they looked like when they were young.

I tried to show the trailer to my techie-obsessed husband last night and he freaked out saying, "I just can't stop staring at it!" LMAO!

Pat Alexander

Tom Lapke yup that's the main example i have of seeing it too haha
