Already boasting the acting skills of Lois Smith and recently Emmy winner (finally!) Jon Hamm, play adaptation Marjorie Prime is adding another great performer. Geena Davis will join the pair in the sci-fi story.
Hamlet and Cymbeline director Michael Almereyda is in the director’s chair for this one, overseeing the adaptation of Jordan Harrison’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated stage work that featured Smith in the lead role. She’s back here to play Marjorie, an 85-year-old violinist with concerns that her memory is failing her. She invests in a service that allows people to see holographic recreations of deceased loved ones as we’d want them to be remembered, which means she interacts with a younger version of her late husband, Walter (Hamm), who is not exactly how she recalls him. She also spends time with her (living) daughter Tess (Davis) and son-in-law Jon.
Almereyda will start the cameras rolling in the Hamptons next month. Davis is part of the cast for Max Landis’ film directing debut, Me Him Her, which doesn’t yet have a solid release date. She’s also been doing excellent work in raising awareness of gender in media, and you can find her site here.
