Both actors look like in the 1990s and play a couple changing through time.

“Here” is an upcoming American drama movie expected to appear in U.S. movie theaters next November. Co-produced and directed by Hollywood filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on a 2014 graphic novel of the same name by Richard McGuire, the movie stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, and Michelle Dockery.

The story winds around a place where several generations are born, live, and eventually expect to pass away. Tom Hanks, 68, plays Richard Young and Robin Wright, 58, plays Margaret as they travel through time from their early youth to retirement ages.

And while makeup helps transform the protagonists into older characters, the movie director decided not to hire other actors to perform as the Youngs’ younger versions.

Instead, Zemeckis employed artificial intelligence to de-age Tom Hanks and Robin Wright (as seen below).

In “Here”, the new generative technology called Metaphysic Live made both actors look like they used to be in the 1990s. Instead of using additional post-production processing methods, AI swaps the faces and unwind the age of the actors in real time as they perform.

The system comes with built-in face detection and recognition which allows it to swap multiple actors to different synthetic identities simultaneously.

Hanks and Wright also worked together in the “Forrest Gump” – an 1994 comedy-drama movie also directed by Zemeckis.
