“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” is a feature film inspired on the relationship between Rogers and Tom Junod, a jaded journalist who embarks on a life-changing experience when he takes on the assignment of writing Rogers' profile and spends some time with him.
Directed by Marielle Heller, the film shows the transformation of Lloyd Vogel – a journalist based on the likes of Junod – through his interactions with Mr. Rogers, and how Rogers taught Vogel valuable lessons in empathy and kindness.

“I disliked that when it got announced it was characterized as [a biopic]. It’s really not," said Hanks about the film. "It’s a movie that’s largely focused on a reporter and [Mr. Rogers’] relationship to his life, and how [the reporter’s] whole world changes when coming in contact with Fred Rogers.”
“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” is set to be released on Nov. 22, 2019.
