Sony’s Columbia Pictures has released the trailer for A Man Called Otto, its adaptation of Fredrik Backman’s bestselling Swedish novel A Man Called Ove and the subsequent movie of the same name that picked up a pair of Oscar nominations in 2017.
The new version, directed by Marc Forster, stars Tom Hanks as the grumpiest of old(er) men and hits theatres in Los Angeles and New York on Christmas Day before going wide on January 13 over MLK weekend.
Hanks’ Otto Anderson is a widower living alone who is set in his ways, to say the least, annoyed with everyone from delivery drivers to neighbourhood joggers and even clowns. But a young family moves in next door, and Otto meets his match in quick-witted and pregnant Marisol (Mariana Treviño), leading to an unlikely friendship that will turn his world upside down.
Rachel Keller and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo also star.
Oscar-nominated Life of Pi and Finding Neverland scribe David Magee adapted the book, and Rita Wilson, Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Fredrik Wikström Nicastro are producers. Executive producers count Forster, Renée Wolfe, Louise Rosner, Magee, Michael Porseryd, Tim King, Sudie Smyth, Steven Shareshian, Celia Costas, Neda Backman and Tor Jonasson.
Check out the trailer above and the poster below.
