Sony Pictures/TriStar has released this new image of Tom Hanks playing the beloved children’s television star in the upcoming heartwarmer A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Hanks stars as Rogers later in life when he is the subject of a magazine profile by a cynical reporter (played byThe Americans‘ Matthew Rhys).
After decades teaching children kindness, resilience, curiosity, and joyfulness, Rogers ended his show in 2001. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer and died the next year at age 74.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,which opens Nov. 22, was shot in and around Pittsburgh, where the real Mister Rogers lived and worked his whole life.
