In this episode of Deadline’s Scene 2 Scene Podcast, I’m talking to Oscar-nominated actors Chivtel Ejiofor and Naomi Harris on the sci-fi show Showtime, The man who fell to the ground. In keeping with the show’s theme, the three of us shared ours. Your experience with difference (defined as the degree or fact of being different) and being a stranger.
Co-producer and executive producer alex Kurtzmann Y Jenny Lumet, The man who fell to the ground Follow the new alien character Faraday (Ejiofor) as he arrives on Earth in search of quantum physics scientist Justin Falls (Harris) before human evolution reaches a tipping point. In his mission to save his planet, Faraday must confront his past to determine the future of the earth.
Adapted from the novel by Walter Tevez, 1976 film of the same name (and directed by Nicholas Roeg), starring the late David Bowie. Thomas Jerome is Newton Supernatural That has crashed to earth and is looking for a way to transport water to its planet, which is suffering from severe drought but is at the mercy of human vices and corruption. However, for the 2022 release, this is more of a sequel than a remake.
I’ve seen the first four episodes and I have to applaud Kurtzman and Lumet for being able to create something that stands on its own and doesn’t use the old movie as a basis. However, it’s Ejiofor and Harris who really lead the series with their electrical chemistry and their introspective take on the characters. The man who fell to the ground It is a show that reflects the current climate, what assimilation into a new society means and how we humans cope with this level of difference.
