Here (2024 film)

Here is a 2024 American drama film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: using a locked-down or "static shot" technique, the story covers a single plot of land and its inhabitants, from the distant past to the 21st century. During the film, the screen is often subdivided into panes, presenting events from different times simultaneously. The film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, and Kelly Reilly, with digital de-aging via generative AI being used on much of the cast to have them portray their characters over time. Here premiered at the AFI Fest on October 25, 2024, before being theatrically released in the United States by TriStar Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on November 1, 2024. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $16 million.

Much later, the area is home to the Lenni-Lenape people, and a storyline follows a man and woman, their courtship, family, and eventually the woman's death. After his wife's burial the man sees a hummingbird, which is seen periodically throughout the film as a reoccurring theme.
