LOS ANGELES – OCTOBER 5, 2015 –(UPI) — Geena Davis and Jon Hamm will star in a forthcoming film adaptation of Marjorie Prime.
The 59-year-old actress will play the 44-year-old actor’s daughter in the sci-fi drama.Marjorie Prime is based on the Jordan Harrison play of the same name, and follows an elderly woman (Lois Smith) as she interacts with a hologram of her husband at a younger age (Hamm).
“We may have met at all those glamorous celebrity parties I go to,” Davis joked to Page Six when asked if she had previously met the former Mad Men star.
Smith originated her role onstage at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles last year. Harrison recently spoke to American Theatre magazine about the play, telling the publication he believes “most” modern science fiction follows a “narrative about the future that is actually about the past.”
Davis last appeared in Me Him Her with Jake McDorman, and has expressed interest in the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel. Hamm, meanwhile, ended his run as Don Draper on Mad Men in May, and is scheduled for Keeping Up with the Joneses with Gal Gadot.
