Rita Wilson
Rita produced the movie, and also, their son is in it as Young Otto, so it's a family affair. (Tom said something about how it was really just a SUGGESTION that they cast his son, because they look a lot alike, but I feel like... you don't say no when Tom Hanks, your lead and your producer, is like, "Hey, maybe my son could do it.") I love Rita's shoes here, and the purple is certainly striking, if a little bit over done? If this were black we'd be like BEHOLD, THE WIDOW WILSON, so maybe her goal here is to look like a woman who is quite HAPPY to be at someone's funeral.
Tom and Rita
Also, Tom attended, looking... like Tom has been looking. (I assume he clipped his hair for this part and then just... kept it?) It really makes me giggle that they're doing a whole promotion in Stockholm, despite the fact that they wrote Sweden out of the movie. I suppose they're still honoring the author, at least. (Also, if you've read Backman's book Anxious People, you'll have the same laugh I did at the mention of them Going to Stockholm.)
Mariana Treviño
In the movie, Mariana's character is Iranian, but they've changed that here too. This is amusingly Victorian Wedding, although it's distracting that I can see whatever she's wearing under it. Then again, at a Victorian wedding, it'd be distracting to see her WITHOUT what she's wearing under it, so maybe she was trying to lean harder into the vibe.
Rachel Keller
Rachel's part isn't named anywhere I've seen a cast list, but I have to assume she plays the young version of Ove's wife. Sorry, Otto's wife. Sigh. She was great in Fargo; I miss her curls, but I miss everyone's curls, so no news there. This dress is sleek and lovely.
Rita Wilson
Very dishy, madam!
Rita Wilson
I like this, too. Remember when she was a Noted Kook? She's come so far.
Kelly Lamor Wilson, Truman Hanks, Mariana Treviño, Marc Forster, Director/Executive Producer, Tom Hanks, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo
So here's the thing: Tom went on about how Truman Hanks looks exactly like he did as a kid, but... DOES HE? I think we can all agree Colin Hanks has always been the one who's a dead ringer for Tom. It's not BAD casting, but it's not... absolutely irresistably identical? I hope he's good in it. He actually to ME looks like he could be Zachary Levi's little brother (this is a compliment). I like what Kelly and Mariana are wearing; I wish I could see Mariana's whole outfit without the coat. The pants INTRIGUE and I suspect a jumpsuit.
Rita Wilson
I enjoy that the title got translated to THE WORST NEIGHBOR IN THE WORLD, which to me gives such a different idea about the movie and what it might be. Can they not just call it OTTO, or OTTO, UN HOMBRE, or even OTTO, UN HOMBRE INUSUAL? I could do this all day. ALSO IMPORTANT: Her boots are superb.
A Man Called Otto Photocall - Madrid, Spain - 12 Dec 2022
So, Truman here is in Madrid, and in the other photo with the green shirt, he was in LA. Maybe he likes green shirts. Or maybe he's like us and only wants to wear clothes he actually owns and likes.
Rachel Keller
Rachel's MO seems to be "simplicity" right now, but that doesn't mean we can't wish for a shoe shopping spree.
Mariana Treviño
I don't know if I LIKE this, exactly, but it's interesting. It's trying a lot and it might not succeed at all of it, but I give her credit for it being something unusual that I am enjoying staring at during the course of my day.
Mariana Treviño
However I AM HERE FOR THIS. It's so unexpected. Big Bird, but make it fashion.
