Tom Hanks’ Mr. Rogers movie titled A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Sony Pictures has announced that the Mr. Rogers biopic starring Tom Hanks has officially been titled A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) directs the film which is scheduled for release on October 18, 2019.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood tells the story of the real-life friendship that blossomed between the beloved Fred Rogers and cynical journalist Tom Junod (Matthew Rhys, The Americans).  The film will see the cynical journalist begrudgingly accepting an assignment to write a profile piece on the beloved icon and finds his perspective on life transformed, carrying the potential for a heart-warming story that could rival 2013’s drama Saving Mr. Banks, also starring Hanks.

Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf of Big Beach will produce alongside Youree Henley (The Beguiled20th Century Woman).

Leah Holzer of Big Beach will executive produce, along with Fitzerman-Blue and Harpster. The project originated from a true story developed by Fitzerman-Blue and Harpster, first appearing on the Black List in 2013.
