A terminally ill actor on a relentless quest for immortality. A pitch-black comedy about Hollywood hubris featuring an all-star cast – hilarious!

Lavish villa, flashy car, young girlfriend – the actor Langston Stanfield lives the Hollywood cliché. But behind the façade are a string of failed marriages, a career that has long since stalled, and a daughter he never got to know. When he unexpectedly learns that he has only six months left to live, he becomes obsessed with being included in the tribute video honoring Hollywood legends at the next Academy Awards.

With plenty of gallows humor, Rob Burnett crafts a sharp dramedy about the absurdities of show business and the meaning of life, featuring an all-star ensemble ranging from Sharon Stone to Lily Gladstone.
