Tom Hanks is going to play Mister Rogers in a movie about the television icon and today we got the first look at him in the role.
The movie that comes out next October is being described as, “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.”
As much as I like the Oscar winner, I only see an older version of Forrest Gump sitting there on the trailer steps. What about you? Having said that, I think Hanks is perfect to play him because he is just as likable as the children’s TV show host.
