On this episode of Deadline’s Scene 2 Scene Podcast, I talk with Oscar nominated actors Chiewtel Ejiofor and Naomie Harris about the Showtime sci-fi series, The Man Who Fell To Earth.

“I was taken by all of the themes that Alex and Jenny had put into this story,” says Chiwetel Ejiofor of Showtime’s The Man Who Fell To Earth series from Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman. “Themes that really are relevant today. I’m mean are right up to the minute really, in how we engage with each other in our human connections, but also our connection with our planet..”

Showtime’s reboot/sequel of Nicolas Roeg’s exquisite “The Man Who Fell to Earth” is better appreciated if one divorces it from comparisons to the original.
