The Man Who Fell to Earth - Paramount

[saddowizca]

I don't normally post on here, so hopefully this is the right place, but I wanted to share the news that 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' is AMAZING.
"An alien (Chiwetel Ejiofor) crashes deep into the oilfields of New Mexico with a mission: he must find the brilliant scientist Justin Falls (Naomie Harris), the one woman on earth who can help save his species. Even as he struggles to adapt to our world and to become more "human," her faith in humanity couldn't be lower. An unlikely duo, together they discover that in order to save his world, they must first save ours. An inspired continuation of the novel by Walter Tevis and the iconic 1976 film starring David Bowie." INBD

I love science fiction, but my DH is not so keen, but we both really like this. It's quirky, imaginative, and really good quality. The cast is fabulous, and even Bill Nighy is in it, playing David Bowie's character.

I haven't seem much about it in the press yet, so thought I would share it here.

Ohhh.. you had me until you said Bill Nighy. Jesus! Talk about Creepy McCreepy.

That being said, Bowie was a Uber-Genious. A. God. Second only to my Personal Jesus who has managed to roundly piss me off at the moment through sheer bell-ended-ness. I've forgiven him though.

I will check this film out. Thank you.

OP, what do you think about Blackstar?

It's actually a series of ten episodes, and we watch it on Paramount, but it might be on Prime Video.

I haven't actually seen Blackstar - is it good?
