Based on Richard McGuire’s graphic novel, ‘Here’ delves into the unfolding events centred around a singular piece of land and its myriad inhabitants. The narrative promises a deep exploration of time’s passage and the interconnected lives that converge within this specific location. It’s a departure from traditional storytelling, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of a place through various epochs and the lives it touches.

Robert Zemeckis, along with screenwriter Eric Roth, adapted McGuire’s original work for the screen. Originally conceived as a six-page comic strip in 1989, ‘Here’ captures the essence of continuity and change as it chronicles the transformations witnessed by this particular plot of land. From the mundane to the extraordinary, the graphic novel portrays a spectrum of entities—animals, humans, and even inanimate objects—that traverse and leave their mark on this space over time.

While specific details of the film’s plot remain tightly under wraps, early insights suggest a faithful adaptation of McGuire’s novel, preserving its core themes and narrative structure. According to Collider, the film’s release date has been adjusted, with a wide release now slated for November, heightening anticipation among fans and critics alike.

As ‘Here’ prepares to transport audiences into its meticulously crafted world, it stands poised to offer a cinematic experience that blends storytelling innovation with profound reflections on the enduring impact of place and memory.
