“At some point it starts being domination.” Indeed – and I wonder if that’s where we are now with society? MGM has unveiled a final official trailer for the audacious sci-fi film Landscape with Invisible Hand, directed by Cory Finley (of Thoroughbreds and Bad Education previously). The film opens in US theaters nationwide this Friday, on August 18th. This is adapted from the book of the same name by M.T. Anderson (which comes highly recommended), and it first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (our review). “Welcome to the future, where the entertainment is us.” When an occupying alien species’ (who are called Vuvv) bureaucratic rule and advanced technology leaves most of Earth impoverished and unemployed, two teenagers hatch a risky plan to ensure their families’ futures. It’s a clever commentary on capitalism and art and how we sacrifice our integrity just to make money. Even though it’s not the best sci-fi film of the year, there’s still something to it. Landscape stars Asante Blackk, Kylie Rogers, Tiffany Haddish, with Brooklynn MacKinzie, Josh Hamilton, & Michael Gandolfini. Catch it this weekend.

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 to view 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 is written and directed by American filmmaker Cory Finley, director of the films Thoroughbreds and Bad Education previously, as well as the series “WeCrashed”. Based on the book of the same name by M.T. Anderson. It’s produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. This first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (read our review). MGM will release Landscape with Invisible Hand in theaters starting on August 18th, 2023 this summer.
