Marjorie Prime

Come for Jon Hamm’s hot hologram (or “Holo-Hamm,” if you will), stay for a moving sci-fi drama about an elderly woman who employs said hologram to hold on to her memories. As touted in the first trailer for Marjorie Prime, the new film from director Michael Almereyda has been likened to Black Mirror and Spike Jonze’s Her — which is to say that, despite the joyful implications of a holographic Jon Hamm, Marjorie Prime is a rather somber experience.

Jon Hamm has accomplished many things in the time that we’ve known and admired him, from working as an ad executive in the ’60s to having one of the best minor roles in the Wet Hot American Summer Netflix series. But there is one frontier Hamm has yet to conquer: holographic technology. The actor is in talks to star in the sci-fi drama Marjorie Prime, in which he would play a hologram — a “hologrhamm,” if you will.
