Rob Burnett brings a wicked take on mortality and legacy in Tribeca 2026’s dark comedy In Memoriam. When a known TV actor, Langston Stanfield, gets a terminal cancer diagnosis out of the blue, his entire goal for his remaining six months to live is to make it into the Oscars Death Montage.

Unfortunately, Langston has a crap record with personal relationships, throwing the path to remembered greatness into chaos. Five wives, an estranged daughter, and a wake of poor choices, In Memoriam is about reconciliation and personal redemption. On his journey, Langston must face the consequences of pride, beg for favors, and attend therapy sessions.

Burnett curated a crazy impressive cast around star Marc Maron. Each with standout moments that counter Maron’s ability to steal a frame, names like Judy Greer, Sharon Stone, Justin Long, Megalyn Echikunwoke, and Alan Ruck.

Lily Gladstone plays the take-no-shit and evenhanded Dr. Whitely. The grace and grounding she brings to the screen as Samantha is simply captivating. Her character forces Langston to connect with his daughter, Maura.

Talia Ryder gives audiences the pure, girlish innocence of being on the cusp of true adulthood. Maron and Ryder share a beautiful chemistry, the true heart of the film. Burnett’s use of the Meisner method is genius.

Michael McKean is Langston’s lifelong manager and friend Walter. Endlessly supportive, the dynamic between these two men was so incredibly refreshing to witness, particularly in a Hollywood setting. McKean always brings effortless joy with him.

Maron is his charming, sardonic, neurotic self. Owning each beat from self-absorbed to self-actualized, Maron’s emotional roller-coaster reels in the audience with heart and humor.

In Memorium is sure to delight even the most curmudgeonly critic. You cannot help but laugh, cry, and ponder your own legacy as the credits roll.
