Ahead of its theatrical release this Friday, a trailer has arrived online for writer-director Cory Finley’s sci-fi comedy drama Landscape with Invisible Hand.
Based on M.T. Anderson’s novel of the same name, the film stars Asante Blackk and Kylie Rogers as teenage artist Adam and his girlfriend Chloe, and follows the pair as they hatch a risky plan that will make money for their families after an alien species occupy Earth, using their advanced technology to render most human jobs and income obsolete. Watch the trailer here…
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 (Asante Blackk) and new girlfriend Chloe Marsh (Kylie Rogers) 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.
Landscape with Invisible Hand arrives in cinemas on August 18th.
