A Beautiful Day in the Neighorhood on Blu-ray, DVD and digital
A comforting word or two
Put on your comfiest cardigan and spend some quality time with Academy Award winner Tom Hanks when he takes on the role of childhood icon and broadcast legend Fred Rogers in A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, coming to digital May 25 and Blu-ray and DVD June 8 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Tom Hanks (Cast Away) portrays Mister Rogers in 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, portrayed by Matthew Rhys (TV's The Americans), is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from America's most beloved neighbour.
The Blu-ray, DVD and digital releases are loaded with bonus features sure to please both longtime fans of Mister Rogers and newcomers to the Land of Make-Believe, including over 15 minutes of additional scenes, an adorable blooper reel, an all-new featurette starring Daniel Tiger, filmmaker commentary and a behind-the-scenes look at the work that went into bringing this heartwarming and inspiring story to life.
Hanks stars alongside Rhys, Susan Kelechi Watson (TV's This is Us) and Oscar winner Chris Cooper (Little Women) under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, The Diary of a Teenage Girl).
