Sci-Fi Cinema: The Man From Earth

What would the Halloween season be without a little Science Fiction mixed in with your horror??? Jerome Bixby's THE MAN FROM EARTH celebrates its  10th anniversary with a brand new Blu-ray + DVD set  exclusively from MVD Entertainment Group

Special Edition Blu-ray + DVD Collector's Set of the cult classic science fiction drama available On November 21st

Originally debuting in November 2007, this new anniversary release hits retailers exactly ten years later.

Directed by Richard Schenkman (A Diva's Christmas Carol), The Man From Earth stars David Lee Smith (Fight Club, Zodiac), John Billingsley (2012, "True Blood"), William Katt (Carrie, "The Greatest American Hero"), Ellen Crawford ("ER", Soldier), Tony Todd (Candyman, The Rock), Annika Peterson (The Devil You Know), Alexis Thorpe (American Wedding) and Richard Riehle (Bridesmaids, Office Space) in this special edition release (with disc only exclusive features) of the worldwide cult smash movie that dazzled critics and audiences alike and currently resides among IMDb's top science fiction films of all time.

 

The Man From Earth is the provocative final screenplay by renowned science fiction author and screenwriter Jerome Bixby ("Star Trek", "The Twilight Zone", Fantastic Voyage, It! The Terror From Beyond Space) and tells the story of a mysterious professor named John Oldman (David Lee Smith). During a cold night in a remote cabin, an uneventful, impromptu goodbye party for Oldman becomes something extraordinary when he makes a prodigious announcement: He is an immortal who has migrated through 140 centuries of evolution and now must move on. Is Oldman truly Cro-Magnon or simply insane? Now one man will force five scholars to confront their own notions of history, religion, science and humanity, all reading to a final revelation that may shatter their world forever. Bixby's script explores themes first presented in the classic season three "Star Trek" episode "Requiem For Methuselah". He began work on the script in the early 1960's and completed it on his death bed in 1998.

 

A decade after its initial release The Man From Earth has become a world-wide cult classic and has become a favorite film among fans of the genre. The film currently ranks among the top 50 science fiction films of all time on the IMDb, was selected by AOL's "Sci-Fi Squad"as one of the Top 10 "Best Science Fiction Films of the Decade" (2000 - 2009) and was nominated for a Saturn Award by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in 2008.  The movie's success has spawned a sequel, The Man From Earth: Holocene, which is scheduled for release in theaters Fall 2017.

 

Regarding the film's popularity, Director Richard Schenkman muses "The idea that The Man From Earth would become someone's favorite movie of all time, and so many people's favorite movie of all time, is just amazing. It really is one of your fondest goals when you become a filmmaker, to have your movie seen. And God knows it's been seen, it's been seen millions and millions and millions of times. Given the phenomenon it has become over the last decade, I was compelled to go back and revisit why this film has touched so many people over the years and was the inspiration for the brand new, feature length documentary I directed called "The Man From Earth: Legacy", which will be included on the new Blu-ray and DVD as an exclusive feature".

 

Jerome Bixby's The Man From Earth: Special Edition makes is home video debut on November 21 2017 on Blu-ray (UPC# 760137051282) MVD Entertainment Group in North America.

 

REVIEWS

 

"A considerable achievement... a picture which deserves wide exposure... The Man From Earth gradually and stimulatingly builds to a pitch of near hypnotic intensity." - Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter

 

"Based on a really wonderful final work by Jerome Bixby... If you're a fan of Bixby's - it's a must own." - Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool News

 

"One film has taken us back to the good old days of classic sci-fi; The Man From Earth... If you love science fiction, this is a must for you." - Doug MacLean, Home Theater Info

 

"The Man From Earth is very much a labor of love from all involved... it's well worth the effort. The final work from the writer responsible for some of the finest episodes of "The Twilight Zone" and the original "Star Trek" gets a thoughtful, low-budget treatment." - Ian Spelling, Sci Fi.com
