- It's a beautiful day
in the neighborhood.
Sony Pictures has shared a new look
at Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers
in its upcoming film titled,
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,
in honor of what would have been
the late TV icon's 91st
birthday on Wednesday.
The photo shared on Twitter shows Hanks
in Fred Rogers's iconic red sweater
as he happily throws a shoe into the air
alongside the caption, "Happy
Birthday Mister Rogers.
"How has our favorite
neighbor inspired you
"to spread kindness?"
Back in September, we got
our first look at Hanks
as Rogers in this behind-the-scenes photo
on set of the movie.
The film follows cynical
journalist, Lloyd Vogel,
played by Matthew Rhys
as he reluctantly accepts
an assignment to write
a profile for Esquire
on Hanks's character, TV icon Fred Rogers.
As the two men get to know each other
the journalist's perspective
on life is transformed
as he overcomes his skepticism
and learns about empathy,
kindness, and decency.
Chris Cooper and Susan Kelechi Watson
also star in the film among others.
The movie will be released
everywhere on November 22nd.
