David Bowie's The Man Who Fell to Earth Returns to UK Cinemas in 4K on November 13 for Its 50th Anniversary
Marking its 50th anniversary, Nicolas Roeg's science-fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, starring David Bowie, returned to UK cinemas on November 13 in a 4K restoration released by STUDIOCANAL. First released in 1976, the film was Bowie's debut in a leading screen role: he plays Thomas Jerome Newton, an alien who comes to Earth seeking water for his home planet. Candy Clark, Rip Torn, Buck Henry and Bernie Casey co-star.
The re-release uses the 4K restoration completed in 2015 and runs 139 minutes. Bowie's detached, otherworldly presence in the film became part of his public image and a reference point for later filmmakers.
After the cinema run, STUDIOCANAL's new STUDIOCANAL CLASSICS label releases a five-disc 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition on November 16, with the film on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, a 2CD soundtrack, a 100-page booklet featuring a new interview with Candy Clark, four posters and four art cards, priced at £39.99.
