Robert Zemeckis’ “Here” will have its world premiere at the 2024 AFI Fest, where it will be the Centerpiece Screening, the American Film Institute announced on Tuesday. The screening will take place on Oct. 25 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
With a screenplay by Eric Roth that’s based on Richard McGuire’s graphic novel by the same name, “Here” reunites the stars of “Forrest Gump,” Tom Hanks and Robin Right, with that film’s director, Zemeckis. As described by AFI, the film is a “tale of love, loss, laughter and life” that follows “multiple families and a special place they inhabit” — the “here” of the movie’s title.
