MARJORIE PRIME: THE FILM

In the beginning of Michael Almereyda’s compelling 2017 film adaptation of the play Marjorie Prime, the elderly Marjorie (played by Lois Smith, reprising her stage role) talks to her husband Walter (played by Jon Hamm, in a role far different from the slick advertising executive Don Draper in television’s Mad Men series). Walter, however, is actually Walter Prime, the holographic double of her deceased husband. For Walter’s computer-programmed double, Marjorie chose a younger version of Walter still in his forties, before they had children. As in the play, Primes like Walter are designed to offer companionship and comfort for people who have lost a loved one. He’s attentive, tactful, and calm, plus he comes equipped with some extraordinary knowledge: he knows thirty-two languages.
