Lejos para mi una de las mejores películas de lo que fue el 2007. Si bien me es difícil remembrar todo el cine que vi el año anterior, lo que más recuerdo es ésta.
Un filme de Sci-Fi que te mantiene "pegado" a la pantalla, esperando más y más... UN DEBER DE VER !!!

Trailer


Dirigida por Richard Schenkman, la película es una adaptación de un relato de ciencia-ficción de Jerome Bixby (guionista de algunos episodios clásicos de Star Trek, fallecido en 1998). En sólo dos semanas, The Man form Earth ascendió del puesto 11.235 al número 5 en la clasificación de The Internet Movie Database, una famosa página en la que los propios cinéfilos puntúan, votan y comentan las películas que ven. Un ascenso que hubiese sido imposible si nadie hubiese subido la película en Internet.

Eric D. Wilkinson agradece "la pirateria" de su filme:

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Eric D. Wilkinson and I am the producer of a small independent film called “Jerome Bixby’s The Man From Earth” (our review).

I am sending you this email after realizing that our website has had nearly 23,000 hits in the last 12 days, much of it coming from your website. In addition, our trailer, both on the www.manfromearth.com site and other sites like YouTube, MySpace and AOL has been watched nearly 20,000 times AND what’s most impressive is our ranking on IMDb went from being the 11,235th most popular movie, to the 5th most popular movie in 2 weeks (we are also the #1 independent film on IMDb & the #1 science fiction film on IMDb). How did this all happen? Two words: Torrent / File Sharing sites (well, four words and a slash).

More specifically, RLSLOG.net. Our independent movie had next to no advertising budget and very little going for it until somebody ripped one of the DVD screeners and put the movie online for all to download. After that happened, people were watching it and started posting mostly all positive reviews on IMDb, Amazon and other places. Most of the feedback from everyone who has downloaded “The Man From Earth” has been overwhelmingly positive. People like our movie and are talking about it, all thanks to piracy on the net!

Am I upset… surprisingly no. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded this torrrent and watched the film, our awareness level is through the roof. For that I say, “THANK YOU”!

What you guys have done here is nothing short of amazing. In the future, I will not complain about file sharing. YOU HAVE HELPED PUT THIS LITTLE MOVIE ON THE MAP!!!! When I make my next picture, I just may upload the movie on the net myself!
