"Kazuo Ishiguro published
Klara and the Sun in March 2021 as his first novel
since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2017, and the book debuted
immediately on the
New York Times fiction bestseller list. Sony Pictures'
adaptation of the novel arrives October 23, directed by Taika Waititi from a
screenplay he co-wrote with Dahvi Waller and starring Jenna Ortega alongside
Amy Adams, Mia Tharia, Natasha Lyonne, and Steve Buscemi.
Klara and the Sun
is, by any measure, an extraordinary foundation for a film adaptation.
It is a story narrated entirely from the perspective of an Artificial Friend
named Klara, a solar-powered android purchased from a store to provide
companionship to a 14-year-old girl named Josie. Josie suffers from a
mysterious illness in a near-future America which is defined by genetic
modification, widespread automation, and a rigid social caste system. With a
creative pedigree like this and the distinctiveness of the story,
Klara and
the Sun is one of the most anticipated movies of the autumn season."
