Your thoughts on this movie.....

Two-time Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in Untitled Mr. Rogers / Tom Hanks Project, a 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.

Following last year’s celebrated documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” about beloved TV legend Mr. Rogers, now comes a narrative spin on the project which borrows the recent format used by HBO’s “My Dinner with Herve”. Matthew Rhys plays a cynical award-winning Esquire journalist asked to begrudgingly profile the show host (played by Tom Hanks) and soon finds the experience transforming his life and outlook. Chris Cooper also stars in the film which hails from “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” and “Diary Of A Teenage Girl” director Marielle Heller meaning it shouldn’t be too saccharine in its portrayal, and is helped along by a Black List script from Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster.
