Robin Wright and Tom Hanks are going to be de-aged along with others for Robert Zemeckis’ Miramax film Here, an adaptation of Richard McGuire’s graphic novel set in a single room following its inhabitants over several years. They will do so using a new generative AI-driven tool called Metaphysic Live.
The film is starring Hanks and Wright, with Paul Bettany and Kelly Reilly and is supposed to have a 2024 release in the United States by Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The film’s production VFX supervisor Kevin Baillie stated, “It is incredible to see Metaphysic’s AI-generated content flawlessly integrated into a shot live on set. The actors can even use the technology as a ‘youth mirror’ — testing out acting choices for their younger selves in real time.”
In order to work on the movie, Metaphysic co-founder Chris Ume is going to serve as AI-Supervisor and chief innovation officer Jo Plaete will be the Metaphysic VFX supervisor.
Metaphysic CEO and co-founder Graham stated, “With the support of CAA and by working on projects like Here, Metaphysic is demonstrating the transformative power of hyperreal AI to shape the future of entertainment and to eventually help people create AI-generated, photorealistic immersive content while they own and control their data.”
