"Hello, neighbor."
Tom Hanks, arguably one of the friendliest actors in Hollywood has transformed 
himself to your friendly neighbor Mister Rodgers in the new trailer for Sony’s 
'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,' which dropped on Monday. The first previews for 
the Marielle Heller-directed film show the Oscar winning actor taking on the role of the 
iconic Fred Rogers, the beloved children's TV personality who hosted the program 
'Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.' The film follows a cynical journalist Lloyd Vogel, played 
by Matthew Rhys, as he reluctantly accepts a news assignment to profile Mister Rogers. 
The two men develop a friendship along the way as Vogel discovers that Rogers truly 
is one of the kindest, most caring people around, which for anyone thats ever 
watched 'Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood' knows is an obvious fact. 
The films title was inspired by the shows theme song that began with “It’s a beautiful day 
in the neighborhood.” The film is slated to be released on November 22.
