The star has been confirmed to play the educational TV personality just in time for the 50th anniversary of the famed show, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Hanks will play Fred Rogers, who died in 2003 after a long career entertaining children on his hit TV show. According to Deadline, Marielle Heller, who previously helmed Diary of a Teenage Girl, has been tapped to direct the film titled You Are My Friend. The script was picked from the 2013 Blacklist, a list culled by studio executives of the best unproduced stories of the year. The story will reportedly focus on the real-life friendship between Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. When the cynical journalist reluctantly accepts an assignment to do a profile on the TV personality, he quickly finds his perspective on life changed during the process. --- b-bb-box <cite>boxington posted [p:895084385] in Tom Hanks ...

UnfairRepresent 01/30/18 1:12:02 AM #6:	Fun fact: The first thing Mr Rogers ever saw on TV was a pie fight. He was disgusted, he thought "We have this new ability and technology to spread a message to more people than ever before, especially children and THIS is what we use it for?"

Mr Rogers is a boy There's a lot of cool things about him. Another bit of trivia I like is his iconic "Let's give the fish some food/let's feed the fish" comes from a letter he got from a blind girl (written by her dad smart guy) saying she couldn't tell when he was feeding the fish. So from then on he made it a point to loudly annouce every time he was feeding the fish, for her and anyone else blind watching. Rogers was a really caring guy. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:895084894] in Tom Hanks ...
