LATE FAME - Watch the trailer now. In cinemas 4th September 2026. Starring Willem Dafoe, Greta Lee, and Edmund Donovan.
The great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger, a forgotten
New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer
(Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of
twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the
attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous,
Kurt Weill–crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his
newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful, witty second feature from Kent Jones (DIANE),
working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy
Burch (MAY DECEMBER), is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New
York.
