A Man Called Otto Trailer: Tom Hanks Is No Mr. Rogers

Sony Pictures has released the official trailer for A Man Called Otto, the upcoming comedy-drama starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks. The film is scheduled to arrive in select theaters on December 25, 2022. It will then be followed by a wide release on January 13, 2023.

The A Man Called Otto trailer introduces Hanks as a grumpy old man who tends to always complain about his neighbors. However, his life will change with the arrival of his new neighbors, a family of four, who try to befriend him despite his resistance.

A Man Called Otto is directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay written by Oscar nominee David Magee, based on Fredrik Backman’s Swedish novel. Joining Hanks in the titular role are Mariana Treviño (Overboard), Rachel Keller (Legion), and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (6 Underground).

“It follows Otto (Hanks), a grumpy isolated widower with staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse, who gives everyone in his neighborhood a hard time as he watches over it like a hawk,” reads the synopsis. “Just as it seems like he’s finally given up on life, an unlikely and reluctant friendship develops with his new neighbors. Little by little, Otto undergoes a subtle transformation…but is he really capable of change?”
