Jenna Ortega’s "Klara and the Sun" Sets Release Date

Sony Pictures offered at CinemaCon the first look at "Klara and the Sun".

Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams star in Taika Waititi‘s feature adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro‘s dystopian sci-fi novel.

The studio revealed that the film is set for theatrical release on October 23.

“This is a hopeful story about friendship and connection at a time when technology makes us feel so alone,” TriStar Pictures president Nicole Brown told the crowd.

"Klara and the Sun" stars Ortega as Klara, a solar-powered robot whose purpose is to assist the lives of the humans around her.

The footage shows Mia Tharia as Josie, a sickly girl who chooses to bring home Klara, with Adams play her mom.

Waititi, whose most recent directorial effort was 2023’s "Next Goal Wins," helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Dahvi Waller.

He produces alongside David Heyman, Jeffrey Clifford, Rosie Alison, and Garrett Basch.

Ortega’s forthcoming features include "The Gallerist" and J.J. Abrams’ "The Great Beyond".

Adams was recently seen in "Nightbitch" and "Disenchanted". Her forthcoming features include "At the Sea" and "Star Wars: Starfighter". She stars in the latter opposite Ryan Gosling, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, and Aaron Pierre.

CinemaCon, the official convention of Cinema United, is the annual event for exhibitors and Hollywood studios that run this year from April 13-16.
