It’s a beautiful day in Hollywood for the upcoming Mister Rogers movie. The first look at the film “You Are My Friend,” which stars Tom Hanks as the beloved, sweater-clad children’s TV personality Fred Rogers, is here. The first photo from the film helmed by “The Diary of a Teenage Girl” director Marielle Heller shows a smiling Hanks wearing a signature Mister Rogers cardigan with khakis and blue sneakers.
