[8][9] Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: the story covers the events of a single plot of land and its inhabitants, spanning from the distant past to the 21st century.

The film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, and Kelly Reilly, with digital de-aging being used on much of the cast to have them portray their characters over the course of the different time periods.

The film adaptation of Here by Richard McGuire was announced in February 2022, with Playtone and ImageMovers producing, Eric Roth writing the script, Robert Zemeckis directing, and Tom Hanks set to star.

[17] Robin Wright was cast before the investor's announcement; in September, Paul Bettany and Kelly Reilly joined,[18][19] followed by Leslie Zemeckis in February 2023,[20] and Michelle Dockery and Gwilym Lee in April.

[35] Peter Sobczynski of RogerEbert.com gave the film one out of four stars and wrote, "Here is a work so cloying and ham-fisted in its attempts to move you that there is a point when you find yourself thinking that the only thing that Zemeckis hasn't thrown into the mix is a needle drop of 'Our House' and then he proceeds to do just that.
