Tom Hanks has played a lot of famous Americans over the years, including astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13, Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks, Captain Richard Phillips in Captain Phillips, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in Sully, and James B. Donovan in Bridge of Spies. His next role is that of Fred Rogers, the TV personality from the long-running TV show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Sony has now released the first trailer for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, providing a first in-depth look at Hanks as Rogers. The movie is based on the true story of Rogers’ relationship with journalist Tom Junod (Matthew Rhys). Junod was tasked with writing a profile of Rogers, but it became so much more than that; A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood tells this story.

You can read Junod’s actual profile of Rogers in this 1998 piece for Esquire.

Marielle Heller (Diary of a Teenage Girl) is directing the film off a script from Transparent writers Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster. It hits theaters in November 2019.

The new Mister Rogers movie with Hanks follows the Mister Rogers documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor from Oscar winning director Morgan Neville. It was released earlier this year to much acclaim.

Target really wants you to visit your local Target store: The retailer is currently slashing 25% off the price of select PS4 and Xbox One games when you select Order Pickup at checkout, meaning you’ll need to swing by your neighborhood Target to grab your games. This offer is available now through Saturday, July 27.

This marks the return of a popular deal that initially launched before Prime Day, about a month ago. No word yet on whether Amazon will hijack this sale like it did with the last one, but in any case, this is a pretty great opportunity to save big on new releases like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Days Gone, and Judgment. Plus, some of these games are already discounted on top of the extra 25% off, so your savings might be even greater.

It’s worth noting some of the games included in Target’s sale can be found cheaper online elsewhere, such as Kingdom Hearts 3, which is only $20 at Amazon; Red Dead Redemption 2, which is still $30 at Walmart; and God of War, which is $20 at Walmart. So consider double-checking the price elsewhere first, as you may find some of these games cheaper and eligible for free shipping at other retailers.

To make your job easier, we’ve gathered some of the best deals worth claiming (and driving to Target for) below. Please note prices shown reflect the full discount with the additional 25% off applied, and both PS4 and Xbox One versions are available except where noted (in some cases only one version is cheaper). Availability may also vary by store. You can check out the full list of titles at Target.

Season 9 of Fortnite may be winding down, but developer Epic Games still has some more new content in store for the hit battle royale shooter before Season 10 officially arrives. On the heels of the big monster-robot showdown that took place this past weekend, Epic will be rolling out the game’s 9.41 content update, which will add another new weapon to Battle Royale mode.

The 9.41 content update is scheduled to go live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices tomorrow, July 23, at 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET / 1 PM BST. Epic will release the full patch notes for the update once it is available, but we got a glimpse at a new item coming courtesy of the in-game news feed: the “weather-tracking” Storm Scout Sniper Rifle.

As previously mentioned, a big world event took place in Fortnite on July 20. The giant robot that was being assembled in Pressure Plant was completed and did battle with the giant monster that was lurking beneath Polar Peak. The robot lost one of its arms in the ensuing clash, but it managed to ultimately defeat the monster using a giant sword, whose hilt was disguised as a statue in Neo Tilted. If you missed the event, you can watch a recording of the giant monster-robot battle here.

Season 9 of Fortnite ends August 1, according to the game’s official website, which means there’s still a little time left to complete any outstanding challenges from this season and unlock the last few remaining Battle Pass rewards. If you need help mopping up some of this season’s missions, we’ve put together tips and guides for all of the trickier ones in our complete Fortnite Season 9 challenges roundup.

It’s still unclear what repercussions the giant monster battle will have for Season 10 of Fortnite, but we do know the game’s minimum PC requirements will be changing as of next season. Starting with Season 10, the PC version of Fortnite will require a graphics card capable of running Microsoft DirectX 11. As Epic explained:

“While a DirectX 11-capable graphics card has always been one of Fortnite’s system requirements, we’ve kept support online for players with older graphics cards–so they could keep playing! However, when Season 10 begins, Fortnite will no longer be compatible with these older graphics cards. This allows us to focus our development and testing efforts to further optimize the Fortnite experience for all players.”
