Last Resort Films is proud to announce Fade to Gray, a powerful character study set against the dying embers of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Four time solo acting nominee, Wyatt Russell (Doctor Love, Wish You Were Here, Everything Will Be Alright, The Hippie Preacher) will headline the film as Roy Kellerman, a once-iconic cowboy star now navigating the unfamiliar terrain of New Hollywood.
Set in 1967, Fade to Gray follows Roy as he’s offered a bit part in an indie film helmed by a young, untested director. With the Western genre in decline and the studio system collapsing around him, Roy is forced to confront what’s left of his identity—and decide whether to fade quietly into obscurity or step into the new world of cinema.
At the helm is James Mangold (A Complete Unknown, Cop Land, The Lone Ranger), one of cinema’s most emotionally grounded filmmakers. Known for his work with fading legends and rugged introspection, Mangold brings a muscular, melancholic touch that promises to honor the film’s themes of reinvention, regret, and the brutal honesty of aging in an industry obsessed with youth.
Russell, closely involved in shaping the project, describes it as “a story about pride, reinvention, and what happens when the world moves on without you.”
At Last Resort Films, we’re drawn to stories about transformation—and Fade to Gray promises to be just that: soulful, stylish, and unexpectedly human.
