Who is Mister Rogers? That’s a question many might be asking as they wait to see A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, the upcoming film starring Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers, a movie that has been doing hugely well on the festival circuit over the past month or son. Well, a new featurette has been released ahead of the release of the movie that might just help to answer the question.
Two-time Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, 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 scepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbour.
