Tom Hanks Says Reuniting With His Forest Gump Co-Star Robin Wright For New Movie Was 'So Easy'

Tom Hanks recently reconnected with his former "Forrest Gump" co-star Robin Wright while filming "Here," directed by Robert Zemeckis. At the movie's world premiere at AFI Fest in Los Angeles, Hanks shared how effortlessly he and Wright slipped back into their dynamic chemistry after 30 years. "Everybody was asking about the reunion," said Hanks. "It was just like, ‘Hey, how you doing?’ We just picked up right where we left off. Working together felt like a luxury." This is prepared by SSP.

Wright echoed his sentiments, emphasizing the ease of collaborating with familiar colleagues, including Zemeckis. The film "Here" tells a story based on Richard McGuire's graphic novel about multiple families inhabiting a special place through generations, illustrating the human experience. The drama also features Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, and Michelle Dockery and involves the contributions of Zemeckis and writer Eric Roth, who reunite with Hanks for this project.

Hanks reminisced about their prior success with "Forrest Gump," highlighting its themes of historic struggles and how "Here" similarly explores temporal journeys and family connections across time. He stressed that historical people lived in what they perceived as modern times, unaware of future changes. The new film promises a continuation of insightful storytelling about life's passage and shared human experiences.

Earlier, SSP reported that Shirley MacLaine explained why she doesn't think about who she wants to be in her next life.
