There is probably no more popular time travel movie in the history of cinema than Robert Zemeckis‘ Return to the future. Zemeckis’s new film also feels like a time travel movie, of a very different kind.
Instead of a DeLorean, your Here It has… a room. And the space was built in front of the house where the room is located. The film seemingly spans the entire history of the planet from the age of the dinosaurs to today, and perhaps even into the future. But the camera remains fixed in one position in one place as time passes around it.
The trailer of Here It’s below and gives you at least an idea of the concept, although I’m having a hard time understanding how the plot (if there is a plot) flows; linearly? Jumping through history? I’m not sure… It also seems to reveal the ending for at least Hanks and Wright’s characters, although given the premise I’m not sure any other ending is conceivable.

The other notable selling point for Here is that he reunites Zemeckis with his key Forrest Gump collaborators: writer Eric Roth and stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
Here it is HereThe official synopsis of (ja):

I mean, this certainly looks and sounds like an ambitious project. Successful or not, I can’t imagine that something so unusual could be boring. Here Its release in theaters is scheduled for November 15.
