Taika Waititi Brings More Dramatic Tone to Klara and the Sun Trailer
The sci-fi adaptation follows a solar-powered Artificial Friend as she tries to find a home and connect with a family.
- Sony 3000 Pictures released the official trailer for Klara and the Sun, directed by Taika Waititi and starring Jenna Ortega. The film arrives in theaters on October 23, 2026.
- Based on the novel by Nobel Prize-winner Ishiguro, the story follows Klara, an Artificial Friend purchased to support Josie, played by Mia Tharia. Josie chooses the robot despite it being an older model.
- Amy Adams plays Josie's mother, who remains skeptical and threatens that Klara is still "under warranty." Supporting cast members include Natasha Lyonne, Aran Murphy, and Steve Buscemi.
- Waititi told Vanity Fair that he adopted a new tonal approach to create his most dramatic film. The adaptation explores themes of artificial intelligence, love, and what it means to be human.
- Describing Artificial Friends as a "blank canvas," Ortega's character learns from humans before sensing something is wrong. Klara then turns to the "Glorious Sun" for guidance.

Taika Waititi brings more dramatic tone to Klara and the Sun trailer
One of Taika Waititi's greatest strengths as a director is his unique voice; he's able to bring a light touch to tragedy (Jojo Rabbit) and a gentle sadness to offbeat comedy (Our Flag Means Death). That makes him an excellent choice to direct Klara and the Sun, based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. Sony Pictures just released the first trailer, and it's giving strong Hunt for the Wilderpeople vibes—a good thing, from my perspective, since that's…
