Article Summary

  • Sony has unveiled the official Klara and the Sun trailer, offering the first wide look at Taika Waititi’s adaptation.
  • Klara and the Sun was first shown at CinemaCon, and the new trailer gives audiences a clearer sense of the film’s tone.
  • Taika Waititi joined Klara and the Sun in 2023 after an earlier version of the adaptation with Dahvi Waller fell through.
  • Klara and the Sun, based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel, is set to open in theaters on October 23, 2026.

The trajectory of Taika Waititi's directing career has been an interesting one, to say the least. There have been some projects that really hit, and a lot that have been sitting on the back burner, not really going anywhere. Klara and the Sun brought Waititi in 2023 after the initial version of the project with director Dahvi Waller fell through. We got to see some of this film at CinemaCon, and now they have released the official trailer, three images, and a behind-the-scenes image. This is an adaptation of the book of the same name, and as with most book adaptations, fans are likely to either love or hate this with very little room for nuance.
