Check out the trailer with Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” coming to theaters this Holiday season. Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers this timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy winner Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbor.
