For her third feature film, director Marielle Heller convinced Tom Hanks to play Fred Rogers in 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' and hopes to reconnect audiences with how they felt as kids.

for a nonfiction film. At first, Heller admitted, “we had a moment where we kind of were, like, ‘Oh, is this a good thing or a bad thing?’

“She’s just a darling,” Rogers said of Heller in a phone call. “I’m so impressed with her as a mom, because she had her son and husband with her the whole time. And I got the best feeling about her from a thing they did at the Toronto [International Film Festival]. I listened to them during a press conference, and I thought, ‘There are two people who really get Fred. One of them is Marielle, and the other is Matthew.’ They are both raising young kids.

What Hanks said he admired about Heller’s approach to conveying Rogers’ beliefs was that she made it a “slow-cooking recipe” without “fakery or trickery,” allowing the character to express his identity through his actions instead of words.
