Director Nicolas Roeg’s the Man Who Fell To Earth from 1976 isn’t a perfect film, but it is a David Bowie film. That alone has made it worthy of being reexamined in the decades since, both critically and artistically, with the film now regarded as a cult classic and Bowie himself co-writing a musical version called Lazarus before his death. Now, as announced at a TCA event, CBS All Access is going to keep the general cultural awareness of The Man Who Fell To Earth alive with a TV adaptation from co-writers and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet. Kurtzman will also direct the series, saying in a statement that the show will “imagine the next step in our evolution,” as “seen through the eyes of an alien who must learn what it means to become human.”
