Apple TV+'s "For All Mankind" (Ronald D. Moore) - Blu-ray Forum

Samus Aran · 06-03-2019, 07:00 PM

A drama series that explores what would have happened if the global space race never ended. Watch the trailer to see why that would've been the case.

Stars Joel Kinnaman (The Killing), Michael Dorman (Patriot), Sarah Jones (The Path), Shantel VanSanten (Shooter), Wrenn Schmidt (Outcast) and Jodi Balfour (Quarry).

This looks amazing. Can't wait.

trevanian · 06-03-2019, 11:22 PM

I had hoped Moore was adapting Ben Bova's MILLENNIUM, which was something I wanted to make a film of as a teenager (I'm slightly older than Moore) but that doesn't look to be the case. Even so, I will be all over this series, totally in my wheelhouse.

The Astronaut in the High Rocket? :P

Looks good... if there's a free trial for ATV+ and it lasts long enough once a bunch of shows come out for me to warrant a trial, I'll watch it.

glennstl · 06-04-2019, 03:58 AM

Sounds promising... and yeah, when I heard this, I thought, “ Man In the High Castle in space”. Lol. Sounds like a cool premise...and Joel Kinnaman is the man.

So will this be a regular streaming service that I can subscribe to on my Roku, or is it exclusive to Apple devices?

ianungstad · 07-15-2019, 10:19 PM

They haven't announced pricing yet.

At one time it was rumored to be a free service but you would have to have an Apple TV or the apple streaming stick. (They would make their money from the sale of the hardware and royalties from whatever apps you signed up for (like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+,HBO Go, etc)

A good interview about the show with Ronald D. Moore and the shows NASA-Consultants.

The Apple TV app will be available on Roku, Amazon Fire, and some smart TV platforms.

question for those who are better at recognizing actors. I'm one of those who tend to recognize faces and "I know her from some movie, but what is it?"

The 5 Female Astronaut candidates in the trailer around 1:45.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out 4 of the the 5, but the 5th seems like should be the easiest and I'm drawing a blank

From Left to Right -- Jodi Balfour, ??? , Sarah Jones, Krys Marshall, Cass Bugge
though I admit I could have #1 an 5 reversed. The 2nd actress I know I'm going to be embarrassed, but who is she?

Sonya Walger, aka Penny from Lost, among other roles.

hariseldon · 09-24-2019, 02:31 PM

Thank you and I am completely embarrassed - though I do recognize her from other roles (Parenthood, Sarah Connor Chronicles, etc). I can look at her face and hear the British Accent (or fake American one).

What I don't understand is why she isn't credited in any of the pictures/advance materials, press releases, interviews, the IMDB For All Mankind cast credits or even her own IMDB Page as being a part of this show.
Is she just in the Trailers?

Samus Aran · 09-24-2019, 09:10 PM

She might only be recurring. Or the one who dies first.

scifisuperfan · 09-24-2019, 11:45 PM

This is The Man In The High Castle of Apple +.

Well, it can be something!!! If well done!!!

Cap.T · 10-16-2019, 05:12 AM

Ahead of it's season 1 premiere on Nov. 1, the show has been renewed for a second season.

A couple of weeks ago a new Trailer was released as well:

darthpepsi · 10-16-2019, 11:23 AM

This and The Watchmen are the shows I’m looking forward to most this fall.

scifisuperfan · 11-04-2019, 01:46 PM

Well this show is well acted but i dont see any future for it. Yes, moon, Mars, already done several times and with far better CGI and cinematography. If they want to show the dramatic life of astronauts it was already done before also. I don`t see a point on this show unless they will tie it up with "See" somehow and some kind of event happens that make all humans blind. That would be something!! Other than that this is the first apple+ show to ditch for me. TMS might be next!!!

Dickinson and See ftw on my book.

Joeker · 11-04-2019, 01:49 PM

Yeah I was watching the first episode last night and wasnt feeling it. For me its been the least interesting of the 3 shows Ive seen so far (See n The Morning Show the other 2).

I’ll gibe it a few eps before I drop ot tho.
