Jeff Russo’s Soundtrack to SHOWTIME Series THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH Released
Lakeshore Records has released the digital THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH Original Series Score, featuring music by Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated composer Jeff Russo (TV’s STAR TREK: PICARD, FARGO, THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY). The album is the companion to The Man Who Fell to Earth: Themes and Sketches album that was released on June 10 (see news and watch first trailer here). The SHOWTIME drama series is inspired by the Walter Tevis novel of the same name and the iconic David Bowie film; it follows a new alien character (Ejiofor) 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.
Says Russo: “The performances in THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, coupled with such an engaging and emotional story, made writing this score incredibly thrilling. I really got to open up melodically and also have so much fun with it.”
The SHOWTIME drama series stars Oscar nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor and Naomi Harris, supported by Jimm Simpson, Kate Mulgrew, Sonya Cassidy, and Bill Nighy. The show is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Timberman/Beverly. STUDIOCANAL owns the rights for both Walter Tevis’ book as well as the Nicolas Roeg film with David Bowie. The series is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
