Tom Hanks stars as a cranky old widower brought out of his shell by a friendly neighbor family in the trailer for A Man Called Otto.The feel-good dramedy is based on Fredrik Backman's hit novel A Man Called Ove, which was previously made into an Oscar-nominated movie in its native Sweden.Now an upcoming Hollywood version sees Tom starring opposite Mexican stage star Mariana Trevino as Otto's heavily pregnant neighbor Marisol. Movie star: Tom Hanks stars as a cranky old widower brought out of his shell by a friendly neighbor family in the trailer for A Man Called OttoOtto, played by Tom, begins the trailer as an old curmudgeon who has calcified into what appears to be a permanently grouchy attitude.When a cheerful neighbor exercising on the sidewalk chirps: 'Hi, Otto!' at him, Otto snaps: 'No,' and keeps on walking.

Over his long career, Tom Hanks has established a rock-solid screen persona as an affectionate, good-natured father figure. The culmination of this squeaky clean image was perhaps his Oscar-nominated performance as TV host and legendary mensch Fred Rogers in 2019’s “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” But more recent films like “News of the World,” “Finch,” and especially this year’s “Elvis” have seen Hanks embrace darker, more emotionally ambiguous characters.  That trend continues with “A Man Called Otto,” an upcoming comedy-drama from director Marc Forster in which Hanks plays the lead, an aging curmudgeon contemplating suicide.

Clayton Davis Reputations go a long way in Hollywood, and when you’re seeking Oscar attention, a good one provides a significant edge against the competition. While more than a few contenders in this year’s mix have had previous run-ins with colleagues and journalists, those without that baggage have social media, and the industry, rooting for them. At the top of the list is Brendan Fraser, one of the best comeback stories in years. In Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale” (Aronofsky and Fraser are both on the cover of this week’s New York issue of Variety) where he plays a 600-pound man looking to reconnect with his daughter, he delivers an astounding performance. The adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s play may face an uphill battle in other major categories, based on reactions so far. However, the star of “The Mummy” (1999) and “Encino Man” (1992) has been able to rise above any criticism, especially after Variety posted a viral video of him getting emotional during the film’s standing ovation at Venice.
