The Big Picture
Tiffany Haddish embarks on a unique and unconventional journey as she ties the knot with an alien, much to the dismay of her children, in the film adaptation of M.T. Anderson’s novel, Landscape With Invisible Hand. In the newly released trailer, Asante Blackk and Brooklynn MacKinzie come face to face with their extraterrestrial father. This captivating sci-fi film is set to hit theaters on August 18.
The final trailer for Cory Finley’s Landscape With Invisible Hand adaptation reveals the extent of the alien invasion, which seeps into every aspect of life, including marriage. The story takes place in a dystopian future where the Vuvv have taken over Earth, introducing advanced technology that renders human labor obsolete and drives many families into financial ruin. Intrigued by human emotions and culture, Tiffany Haddish’s character defies societal norms by marrying an alien for a year.
The final trailer hints at an irreversible change in the fate of humanity with the arrival of the Vuvv, featuring a wedding ceremony between Haddish’s character, Beth Campbell, and one of the aliens. Although their union is fleeting, it disgusts Beth’s children, Adam and Natalie, played by Asante Blackk and Brooklynn MacKinzie, respectively, as they now have to acknowledge the alien as their father and navigate through his awkward displays of affection. The film skillfully injects humor into their struggles of adapting to this bizarre near-future world, where prosperity offered by the aliens translates into synthetic food and uncomfortable living situations. Despite the aliens’ apparent apathy, Beth is determined to uncover their capacity for love, even if Adam remains skeptical due to their lack of circulatory systems.
Life has drastically changed for everyone in Landscape With Invisible Hand, and Adam and Chloe, portrayed by Kylie Rogers, are resolved to defy their alien overlords. The aliens, captivated by the concept of love, offer substantial sums of money to witness humans engaging in acts of affection, be it holding hands, kissing, or watching romantic films. Adam and Chloe devise a plan to film their own relationship to support their families, but their authentic love diminishes over time, giving way to resentment. They desperately pretend in order to avoid financial ruin, but when the aliens discover their deceit, they must find a way to escape a debt that will burden their loved ones for generations to come.
The cast of Landscape With Invisible Hand is brimming with talent. In addition to Haddish, Blackk, MacKinzie, and Rogers, the film features standout performances by William Jackson Harper, known for his role in The Good Place, who passionately expresses his hatred for the Vuvv in the trailer. The cast also includes Josh Hamilton, Michael Gandolfini, John Newberg, Tony Vogel, and Christian Adam. Haddish not only stars in the film but also serves as an executive producer alongside Brad Pitt, Gabby Shepard, David Kern, and Megan Ellison. Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are also on board as producers.
In an interview with Collider, director Cory Finley and Kylie Rogers discussed the unique nature of the film. Finley summarized the project as an alien invasion centered around the destruction caused by economic and cultural means, rather than violence. Rogers expressed her excitement to participate in such a groundbreaking sci-fi project, highlighting the script’s unprecedented concepts and her enthusiasm for working with Finley.
Landscape With Invisible Hand will captivate audiences when it hits theaters on August 18. Be sure to watch the final trailer below.
