First Trailer for 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' with Tom Hanks

"Hello, neighbor." Sony Pictures has revealed the first full trailer for the highly anticipated A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, starring Tom Hanks as the beloved Fred Rogers from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". The film is directed by the wonderfully talented Marielle Heller (The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and is a lovely follow-up to the excellent documentary about Mr. Rogers, titled Won't You Be My Neighbor?. The story focuses on Rogers' relationship with Tom Junod, played by Matthew Rhys, a jaded journalist who is assigned a profile of Fred and learns about empathy, kindness, and decency during his time with him. The cast includes Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Cooper, Enrico Colantoni, Maryann Plunkett, Tammy Blanchard, Wendy Makkena, Sakina Jaffrey, & Carmen Cusack. Well, this looks absolutely wonderful! More than just a biopic, feels like it is even more profound.
