Tom Hanks is coming to the neighborhood and we already have a huge smile on our face.
The Toy Story 4 actor is taking on the role of Mister Rogers in the new biopic about Fred Rogers who delighted children for years with his TV series Mister Rogers’ Neighbourhood.
The film, directed by Marielle Heller, is based on a true story.
It will follow the unlikely friendship between the television host who passed away in 2003 and a cynical journalist who has been assigned to write a profile.
Matthew Rhys of The Americans plays the Esquire reporter who is also a new father, Lloyd Vogel.
The official trailer for A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood features Hanks in Rogers’ signature red cardigan, spouting the positivity that he was known for.
“Sometimes, we have to ask for help and that’s okay,” Hanks says in the clip. “I think the best thing we can do is to let people know that each one of them is precious.”
Join the neighborhood on November 22nd!
