The upcoming project marks Reilly’s latest collaboration with director Robert Zemeckis, after previously working together in the Denzel Washington-led film Flight. She will next be seen in the upcoming fifth season of Yellowstone.

Here will be directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future trilogy) from a screenplay he is co-writing with Eric Roth. The film adaptation will be produced by Playtone and ImageMovers.

Set to take place from the past to the distant future, the story will center around a corner of a room and the many people who have inhabited it over the years. Richard McGuire originally published Here as a six-page coming strip in 1957. Over five decades later, the graphic novel version of the story was released in 2014 by Pantheon Books.
