Film based on Bainbridge playwright’s work to debut

“Marjorie Prime,” a new film directed by Michael Almereyda, and based on the work of playwright (and Bainbridge High School graduate) Jordan Harrison’s Pulitzer finalist play of the same name, will premiere at Bainbridge Cinemas Friday, Sept. 29.

Eighty-six-year-old Marjorie spends her final, ailing days with a computerized version of her deceased husband. With the intent to recount their life together, Marjorie’s “Prime” relies on the information from her and her kin to develop a more complex understanding of his history. As their interactions deepen, the family begins to develop ever diverging recounts of their lives, drawn into the chance to reconstruct the often painful past.

Built around exceptional performances from a veteran cast, “Marjorie Prime” shines a light on an often-obscured corner in the world of artificial intelligence and its interactions with mortality.

Bringing us robustly into the future, Almaryeda’s poetic film forces us to face the question: If we had the opportunity, how would we choose to rebuild the past, and what would we decide to forget?

The film stars Jon Hamm, Geena Davis and Tim Robbins.
