Jenna Ortega is a robot with a bright outlook in the trailer for the forthcoming feature adaptation of Klara and the Sun.

Ortega and Amy Adams star in director Taika Waititi‘s movie that is set for theatrical release from Sony Pictures on Oct. 23. Waititi and Dahvi Waller co-wrote the script for the film that adapts author Kazuo Ishiguro‘s 2021 dystopian sci-fi novel.

Klara and the Sun stars Ortega as Klara, a solar-powered robot whose purpose is to assist the lives of the humans around her. Mia Tharia, Steve Buscemi and Natasha Lyonne round out the cast.

“Glorious sun, please let today be my day,” Ortega says in the trailer. “Let me find a friend.”
