Sony Pictures today released the trailer for Mister Rogers biopic “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”, opening thanksgiving.
Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy winner Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbor.
Directed by Marielle Heller, and written by Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster, the film is inspired by the article “Can You Say…Hero?” by Tom Junod.
