Sony releases the first official trailer for “Klara and the Sun,” a dystopian sci-fi film adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro’s bestselling novel. The movie introduces Klara, an “Artificial Friend” designed to prevent loneliness, as she searches for a place to belong and becomes involved with a heartbroken family. Jenna Ortega stars as Klara, with Amy Adams also featured. Natasha Lyonne and other actors are credited in the production, and the trailer highlights the film’s focus on human emotions and the role of artificial companions. The adaptation is written and directed by Taika Waititi, who is described by multiple outlets as an Academy Award winner, and the project involves Sony’s 3000 Pictures and Spyglass Media. Several sources note that the story is drawn from Ishiguro’s “Klara and the Sun,” which has been widely reported as a New York Times bestseller and associated with Ishiguro’s Nobel Prize recognition. The trailer indicates a theatrical release in October, with one source specifying October 28.
