How Marc Forster Made ‘A Man Called Otto’ A Hanks Family Affair
23.01.2023 - 01:47 / thewrap.com
Marc Forster, who directed “A Man Called Otto,” built his American version of the Swedish story with different creative elements from three Hanks family members, including Tom Hanks starring as the central character and his son Truman portraying the younger version of Otto.“Ultimately when you’re dealing with flashbacks, the ins and outs [need to] feel very seamless and feel like you’re still in present-day with Otto, with Tom Hanks. When you go into the flashback with Truman and Sonya (Rachel Keller), it [needs to feel] like you’re not being taken out of the movie,” he said.
“So I always wanted to connect Tom into those scenes and feel like you’re almost still in present day, but you’re with him on this journey [where]he’s going into his memories, but then you emotionally don’t detach.”“A Man Called Otto” the adaptation of the best-selling book “A Man Called Ove” by Frederik Backman, tells the story of Otto, a grumpy older man who doesn’t see a reason to live following the loss of his wife Sonya. He tries to take his own life multiple times in the film, but his efforts get interrupted, and his new neighbors warm their way into his legitimately oversized heart.“Frederik Backman wrote the book and it was a great foundation.
Hannes Holm the Swedish director, who did the Swedish movie (“En Man Som Heter Ove”) also laid a great foundation,” Forster said of his predecessors. “We are very close to the book and also even to the Swedish movie.
