Robert Zemeckis is an accomplished filmmaker behind highly acclaimed works such as the Back of the Future trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Forrest Gump.

Known for his use of special effects, Zemeckis reunited Forrest Gump leads Tom Hanks and Robin Wright for 2024's Here, a nonlinear narrative that heavily uses de-aging technology.
