Famed sci-fi writer Jerome Bixby begin writing a
story in the 1960’s, only to have it completed on his death bed in 1998. Now
that story is hitting the silver screen, and the teaser trailer can now be seen
online.
The stories called MAN FROM EARTH, and it’s about
Professor John Oldman, who unexpectedly announces his resignation from the
University and his plans to move on. His shocked friends and colleagues invite
themselves to an impromptu gathering at his home, pressing him for an
explanation. But they’re shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement:
John claims he is immortal, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years
without his secret being discovered.
Now I’m not going to lie. That’s totally not what
I got from the trailer seen
here. I thought the story was about cavemen,
but I have been drinking nothing but Kahlua for like 3 days straight and am
having trouble even remembering what my name is. (I think it’s Mabel. Or Paint
can.)
Anyways, check the
trailer out, and spit some bullets below
as to what you think about it.
If I could live forever, I would spend like 10 years trying to get under that cowboy hat!
