MGM has released the trailer for Landscape With Invisible Hand, the upcoming film adaptation of M.T. Anderson’s sci-fi dramedy novel of the same name. It will debut in theatres on August 18. In the trailer we see a future where an alien species called Vuvv have taken over Earth.
“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,” reads the synopsis. “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 (Blackk) and new girlfriend Chloe Marsh (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.”
