Down to Earth
A story of premature reincarnation.
Directed by Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Alphaville Films
A lighthearted fantasy-comedy about a struggling comic given a second chance at life in an unexpected body, blending humor, romance, and self-discovery.
Struggling comic Lance Barton knows what it's like to die on stage. But when his life takes an unexpected turn - straight to heaven - Lance is sure there's been a mistake. Miraculously, he's right! An angel tells Lance he was taken prematurely but assures him he can be returned to Earth - in the aged body of a ruthless white billionaire. In this improbable reincarnation, Lance begins a hilarious quest to realize his showbiz dream...and, along the way, discovers the person he never imagined he could be.
