Sony Pictures has premiered the first trailer for the Tom Hanks-led “A Man Called Otto,” the remake of the celebrated 2015 Swedish life-affirming comedy smash “A Man Called Ove”.
Oscar-winner Hanks stars in and produces the feature about a curmudgeonly widower with staunch principles, strict routines, a short fuse, and a sad backstory.
When a chatty young family move in next door and accidentally flatten his mailbox, it leads to a heart-warming tale of cats and unexpected friendship.
“Finding Neverland” duo Marc Forster directs and David Magee pens the script. The film opens in select theaters at Christmas before opening everywhere January 13th.
