THE FINAL Days of Ptolemy Grey focuses on the titular character, a 91-year-old man forgotten by his family, by his friends, by himself even. On the brink of sinking deeper right into a lonely dementia even, Ptolemy experiences a seismic shift when he’s given the tremendous possibility to briefly regain his memories, and uses this fleeting and precious lucidity to resolve his nephew’s death and comprehend his past. Samuel L. Jackson ( The Banker ) is defined in the titular role while Fishback has signed to star as Robyn, a detailed friend of the household who helps Ptolemy, with the streamer having signed White Tiger writer/director Ramin Bahrani to executive and direct produce.
