In nuce: Three fun facts about the absolute person of contemporary history David Bowie: He made a guest appearance in the game The Nomad Soul, Quantic Dream’s first film. His son is the Hollywood director Duncan Jones (including Moon, Source Code, Warcraft: The Beginning). The third fun fact… will we get to that in a moment? Firstly: Cinesite has published a VFX breakdown reel for the CBS series The Man Who Fell to Earth. The series is a sequel to the novel by author Walter Tevis (including Sharks of the Big City and The Colour of Money) and the 70s film starring David Bowie. That’s the third fun fact out of the way. Incidentally, the book and original film are also called The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Cast & crew: The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Faraday, Naomie Harris as Justin, Bill Nighy as Newton and Kate Mulgrew as Finch – the latter also known as Captain Kathryn Janeway from the 90s series Star Trek: Voyager. Behind the camera, Jenny Lumet (the Stark Trek series Strange New Worlds, Discovery and Picard) and Alex Kurtzman (co-creator of the Star Trek franchise since 2009) were responsible as writers and executive producers.
