Wasn’t Rogers a Christian minister? Whoa, that won’t go over well with the lefty commies

Gonna require some massive historical revisionism.
Fred Rogers was far too heteronormative for Hollywood.

“For a girl will one day grow to be lady
And a boy will one day be a man.”

Can’t have THAT now, can we?

Is this make-believe world totally out of ideas for stories and escapism? Biopics, hollywood history and news articles are the absolute worst sources of material for movies.

Sorry to hear that, think they could do someone better than Hanks for this.. he’s a decent actor, but Mr Rodgers was an ordained minister.... would like to see someone a bit more friendly to the faith portraying him..

Hopefully the script won’t turn him into something he wasn’t just to create drama.

I can’t wait to see the part about him walking out of the surf with an M-60, gunning down a mass of his Vietcong neighbors, tossing incendiary grenades into hutches full of kids. Then he puts on his slippers and cardigan and walks back into the ocean, middle finger flying. ‘merica!!

Can hardly wait to see them reenact the interview with the bass player ... “Eggamuffin, yeah”.

I'm personally waiting for the Barney the Dinosaur backstory.

The way you describe it, Mr. Rogers turns you on.

Me, I got a thing for Barney the dinosaur.

“Apollo 13” is also very good.

This is not directed at anyone, in particular. But at Hollywood, in general.

Surely this can’t be meant for movie theaters. Who would pay to see a biography of a children’s show host?
