KLARA AND THE SUN – Official Trailer (4K)

Get a first look at this emotional sci-fi adaptation about an AI companion designed to cure loneliness. Watch as Klara forms a deep, life-changing bond with a sick young girl.

Sony Pictures has released the official trailer for 'Klara and the Sun,' the new film directed by Taika Waititi. Based on the 2021 novel of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, this sci-fi drama stars Jenna Ortega as Klara, an artificial intelligence robot known as an 'Artificial Friend (AF),' designed to help humans while charging herself with sunlight.

The trailer begins with Klara on display in a store. Klara introduces herself by saying, "An AF is a blank slate, with the intelligence of an infant, leaving the laboratory and learning everything from their human." The store manager, played by Natasha Lyonne, encourages Klara and her fellow models, which have become outdated amid rapid technological advances, that they can still find new homes, saying, "If you remember everything you learn, you’ll be loved like family, or at least like a dog."

The story then begins in earnest when a sickly girl, Josie (Mia Tharia), chooses Klara and takes her home. Josie’s mother, played by Amy Adams, reacts skeptically, asking, "This model?" Later in the trailer, Klara also warns that she is "still under warranty" and can be returned to the store at any time. Meanwhile, Klara is shown speaking to the 'glorious sun' and charging her body with sunlight, gradually restoring warmth to Josie’s family, who have suffered a great loss, through her pure perspective and unwavering loyalty.

'Klara and the Sun' was written by Waititi with Davy Waller of 'Mad Men' and 'Mrs. America,' and produced with the participation of TriStar Pictures, 3000 Pictures, Heyday Films, Defender Films, and Piki Films. Mia Tharia, Aran Murphy, Steve Buscemi, Harry Greenwood, and Rachel House also star. It will be released in North American theaters on October 23, 2026, distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.
