Landscape with Invisible Hand trailer: Tiffany Haddish stars in sci-fi drama

JoBlo.com’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to watch writer/director Cory Finley’s sci-fi drama 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.” A wider audience will get their chance to see the movie when it’s given a theatrical release on August 18th – and with that date just a couple months away, a trailer for Landscape with Invisible Hand has arrived online! You can check it out in the embed above.

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.

Landscape with Invisible Hand has been rated R for language and brief violent content.
