    ABOUT THIS EDITION :
    A Behind-the-scenes look at the Making of this Landmark Movie"The Man Who Fell to Earth is an extensively researched book by Jay Glennie and Darryl Webber that takes a comprehensive look at the making of this British film. Released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the film's release, it includes exclusive interviews with the cast, crew and a host of other people involved in the production."Featuring beautiful on-location images, many of which have never been published before, this book is the definitive account of the unlikely and sometimes difficult journey from page to screen of Nicolas Roeg's visionary film.Every film has its own quirks and kinks before, during and after filming, but The Man Who Fell to Earth, due to its extraordinary collection of characters on and off screen, had more than most.The book details the unusual deal set up to finance the film, the row about whose idea it was to cast David Bowie and how the producers somehow wangled flying an entirely British crew over to New Mexico for the shoot.The Man Who Fell to Earth looks at the personality clashes on set, the unconventional working methods of Nic Roeg and the enigmatic, other-worldly behaviour of David Bowie.Through first-hand accounts, we find out what it was like to work with two creative geniuses at the height of their powers and we discover that, as ever, there are many sides to a story.And after a shoot typified by a 'work hard, play hard' approach, we discover there was still more controversy to come with a missing soundtrack, an edited US film release unauthorised by the director and a cool reception from the critics.That The Man Who Fell to Earth is now seen as a classic that was ahead of its time says something about the enduring power of the film, the genius of Nic Roeg and the mesmerising presence of Bowie.This beautiful, exclusive 'coffee table' book will have a numbered, limited edition run of just 1,000 copies worldwide and includes more than 600 stunning images licensed from Studio Canal.
