First Trailer for Sci-fi Drama Marjorie Prime
Reminiscent of Black Mirror and Her, the first trailer for Marjorie Prime, starring Jon Hamm, has been released online.
For anyone who has ever lost a loved one, there’s now a way to reunite with the recently departed. Written and directed by Michael Almereyda – and based on an acclaimed stage play of the same name – Marjorie Prime presents a world in which deceased loved ones can be recreated in hologram form, based on how they’re remembered by those they’ve left behind.
Sporting an impressive cast, Marjorie Prime focuses on the titular character (Lois Smith), who is reunited with a younger version of her recently deceased husband Walter (Jon Hamm) via one of the aforementioned holograms. The film also co-stars Geena Davis and Tim Robbins as Tess and Jon, the daughter and son-in-law of Marjorie and Walter – with the former becoming increasingly alarmed by the amount of time her mother is spending with the hologram.
Marjorie Prime will materialise into cinemas on Aug 18, 2017.
