Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Oscar-winning Taika Waititi’s new film “Klara and the Sun” based on the 2021 novel by Nobel Prize-winner Kazuo Ishiguro (“The Remains of the Day”).
The story follows Klara (Jenna Ortega), an Artificial Friend who wants nothing more than to find the perfect home. When Klara meets Josie (Mia Tharia), each immediately senses a kindred spirit in the other.
Josie has a fraught relationship with her mother (Amy Adams) and they’ve suffered great loss, but Klara’s innocent wonder and unwavering loyalty begin to heal the family and bring light to Josie’s complicated world.
Also starring are Amy Adams, Aran Murphy, Steve Buscemi and Natasha Lyonne. Waititi co-wrote the adaptation with Dahvi Waller.
Waititi, David Heyman and Garrett Basch are producing the dramedy which has been rated PG-13 for thematic elements, some violence and strong language.
“Klara and the Sun” opens exclusively in cinemas on October 23rd.
