Writer/director Cory Finley’s sci-fi drama Landscape with Invisible Hand is set to reach theatres this Friday, August 18th – and with just four days until that date arrives, the final trailer for the film has dropped online! You can check it out in the embed above. JoBlo.com’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to watch to watch Landscape with Invisible Hand at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and gave it an 8/10 review (you can read it HERE), describing the film as “a unique, cerebral alien invasion story told with style and intelligence.” So take a look at the trailer and see if this looks like a movie you’d want to watch on the big screen!
Based on the 2017 novel of the same name by M. T. Anderson, the film has the following synopsis: Years into a benevolent alien occupation of Earth, the human race is still adjusting to the new world order and its quirky coffee table-sized overlords called the Vuvv. Their flashy advanced technology initially held promise for global prosperity, but rendered most human jobs – and steady income – obsolete. When 17-year-old artist Adam Campbell and new girlfriend Chloe Marsh discover the Vuvv are particularly fascinated with human love and will pay for access to it, they decide to livestream their budding romance to make extra cash for themselves and their families. Life is good, for a while, until the flame of their teenage love fizzles out and they’re forced to make very different, absurdly life-altering sacrifices for their families.
Asante Blackk (When They See Us), Kylie Rogers (The Whispers), and Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) star.
Coming our way from Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures, Plan B Entertainment, and Annapurna Pictures, Landscape with Invisible Hand was produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. Haddish and Anderson executive produced alongside Brad Pitt, Gabby Shepard, David Kern, and Megan Ellison.
