A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

One of last year's most significant Oscar misfires was the documentary called Won't You Be My Neighbor, about the life and guiding philosophy of Fred Rogers, the host and creator of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, directed by Morgan Neville. Many argued that the film was not only the year's best documentary but THE best film of the year. Sadly though, it wasn't even nominated in the Best Documentary category. What a travesty!

Well, there's the opportunity for the Academy to get a do-over as this coming holiday season will feature a new scripted film about Mister Rogers called A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. The film will star Tom Hanks in the role of everybody's favorite neighbor, Fred Rogers, whose family-friendly PBS show blessed the homes of families for nearly forty years.

"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."


You can check out the trailer for the film below and we will post the film's poster as soon as it has been made available.

The scripted show is directed by Marielle Heller who also helmed last year's Oscar-Nominated Can You Ever Forgive Me so we know the script from Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harvester will be in good hands.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is the true story of the friendship developed between Fred Rogers and cynical journalist Tom Junod (Matthew Rhys) who is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers for his magazine. Naturally, Junod overcomes his skepticism and learns about empathy and compassion from America's most-beloved neighbor. {googleads}
