The Hollywood Reporter reports a new trailer for Sony’s film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s dystopian novel, featuring Ortega and Amy Adams alongside director Taika Waititi.
A new trailer for Sony’s upcoming feature film “Klara and the Sun” was released, introducing Jenna Ortega as a robot character searching for a friend, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The trailer frames the story around companionship and connection as the character navigates a tense, artificial environment.
The film is directed by Taika Waititi, with Ortega appearing as a central figure in the cast. The Hollywood Reporter also reports that Amy Adams will star in the movie, joining Ortega and Waititi’s production team.
“Klara and the Sun” is an adaptation of author Kazuo Ishiguro’s dystopian novel, Sony’s planned feature preserving the premise of a future shaped by constraints and control as reflected in the source material.
The trailer’s release adds to a broader slate of studio adaptations of well-known literary work, with Sony positioning the project as a character-driven entry built around the perspective of a synthetic being. For audiences following casting news, the Ortega and Adams pairing indicates a continued emphasis on recognizable film talent as the project moves toward release.
As the campaign begins with the trailer, viewers will now have a first look at the film’s visual approach, pacing, and tone for Ortega’s robot character, as well as the broader world implied by the dystopian origin of the story.
The production’s next milestones will likely include additional cast and behind-the-scenes materials as Sony continues to roll out marketing for the film, following the trailer reveal reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
