The first photo has been released of Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers in the upcoming untitled biopic at Sony Pictures.
The story deals with the real-life friendship that blossomed between the beloved Fred Rogers and cynical journalist Tom Junod (Matthew Rhys) assigned to write a profile piece on the beloved icon.
Junod finds his perspective on life transformed, carrying the potential for a heart-warming story akin to the Hanks-led “Saving Mr. Banks”.
Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster penned the script and the film opens October 18th 2019.
