Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite and de-age in innovative new film ‘Here'
The "Forrest Gump" stars are reuniting 30 years after the release of their iconic movie.
Forrest and Jenny are just like peas and carrots again!
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright - who starred in the iconic movie "Forrest Gump" made 30 years ago - have reunited in the upcoming film "Room."
And they look as young as they did back when Forrest was running around Greenbow, Alabama.
The trailer for their new film was released Wednesday by Sony, showing the de-aging technology used on Hanks and Wright while capturing the passage of time over the course of their relationship from high school sweethearts to elderly spouses.
As decades pass and appearances change in the movie, the camera used stays firmly in place throughout, with no zooming or spinning. Viewers get one vantage point during the 104-minute film, which is set entirely in the New England area that becomes the couple's living room.

"The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does,” director Robert Zemeckis, who also directed "Forrest Gump," told Vanity Fair. “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 trailer shows the location of the living room from when it was a plot of land during the age of dinosaurs, to when the house was constructed, to when an elderly Hanks and Wright, in their roles as Richard and Margaret, have seemingly moved out.
"This was our home," Hanks tells Wright in an empty living room. "We lived here."
