Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for the dystopian science-fiction drama «Klara and the Sun», starring Jenna Ortega in the lead role. This time, the «Wednesday» star takes on a completely different character – portraying an android companion named Klara.

The film is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in the near future, the story follows Klara, an «Artificial Friend» designed to help children and teenagers cope with loneliness.

Klara becomes the companion of a seriously ill young girl named Josie. As their relationship deepens, a unique bond develops between them, and Klara becomes not only a friend but also an important source of support as Josie learns to better understand her mother and the world around her.

Alongside Jenna Ortega, the dystopian drama features Amy Adams, Mia Tharia, Natasha Lyonne, Steve Buscemi, Simon Baker, and several other acclaimed actors. The film is directed by Academy Award winner Taika Waititi, known for «Jojo Rabbit», «Thor: Ragnarok», and «What we do in the shadows».

The film is scheduled for a worldwide release on 23 October 2026.
