Jerome Bixby's Man From Earth

Jerome Bixby's The Man From Earth Description On a cold night in a remote cabin, an uneventful, impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman (David Lee Smith, CSI Miami , Fight Club) 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. John Billingsley (2012), William Katt (Carrie), Ellen Crawford ( ER ), Tony Todd (Candyman), Annika Peterson (The Devil You Know), Alexis Thorpe (American Wedding) and Richard Riehle (Bridesmaids) co- star in this provocative final work by renowned author Jerome Bixby (Fantastic Voyage, Star Trek , The Twilight Zone ) presented in this special anniversary edition of the worldwide cult smash that dazzled critics and audiences alike and resides among IMDb's top science fiction films of all time. NOTE FROM THE PRODUCERS REGARDING THE MAN FROM EARTH HD RESTORATION: Jerome Bixby's The Man From Earth was originally shot on standard definition MiniDV (digital video) in January 2006 before the proliferation of high definition filmmaking.

The original DV 30 Mbps 29.97fps media was converted to a new ProRes 422 HQ 220 Mbps source at 24 fps for more cinematic motion and for more control and manipulation of the picture during an all new color correction process, with each shot meticulously noise reduced, sharpened, and detail enhanced.

If you re a fan of Bixby's it s a must own. --Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool NewsThe 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 Features: Product Details: Actors: David Lee Smith, Tony Todd, William Katt, John Billingsley, Richard RiehleDirectors: Richard SchenkmanFormat: Anamorphic, Dolby, NTSC, Special Edition, Surround Sound, WidescreenLanguage: EnglishRegion: Region A/1 (Read more about DVD/Blu-ray formats.)Number of discs: 1Rated: Unrated Not RatedStudio: Man From Earth LlcDVD Release Date: November 21, 2017Run Time: 87 minutes Payment We accept Paypal payments only.
