Showtime\u2019s original series The Man Who Fell To Earth <\/em>has received its first trailer. Starring Oscar nominees Naomie Harris (Skyfall)<\/em> and Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave<\/em>), the alien sci-fi thriller is inspired by Walter Tevis\u2019s novel and Nicolas Roeg\u2019s esteemed 1976 film of the same name featuring David Bowie.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writer, director, and executive producer Alex Kurtzman said that the series will pay tribute to aspects of Tevis\u2019s novel. The official synopsis reads: \u201cTHE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH will follow a new alien character who arrives on Earth at a turning point in human evolution and must confront his own past to determine our future. Harris plays Justin Falls, a brilliant scientist and engineer who must conquer her own demons in the race to save two worlds.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ejiofor, who stars as Faraday the alien who arrives on Earth during a critical point in human evolution, recently spoke on a panel to discuss how he utilized his own personal experiences in order to play an Earth-bound alien. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have to rely on the ways you\u2019ve interacted with people, the way you\u2019ve felt like an outsider, the way you\u2019ve tried to belong\u2026you have to bring that to playing the part to try to understand it,\u201d said<\/a> Ejiofor. \u201cInevitably, that kind of throws up this contemplation of your own journey, about your own personality.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris plays Justin Falls, the human that Faraday seeks out for his mission. In the trailer, we watch how Justin comes to terms with the incredulous situation of speaking to an alien who claims that he was sent to Earth to specifically find her, whose knowledge as a prominent scientist can help reverse the current dismal trajectory of Earth and Faraday\u2019s home planet. \u201cYou are a scientist. You have the potential for all things,\u201d says Faraday in the trailer. Together, they join forces to help save the planets\u2013\u2013but not without challenges along the way. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Ejiofor and Harris, the cast for The Man Who Fell to Earth<\/em> features Bill Nighy, Jimmi Simpson, Rob Delaney, Sonya Cassidy, Joana Ribeiro, Annelle Olaleye, Kate Mulgrew, and Clarke Peters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
