This is Us’ Asante Blackk and Tiffany Haddish are set to star in SF movie Landscape with Invisible Hand for MGM.

Variety is reporting that the pair will play mother and son in the drama described as a “heightened comedy set in a deeply stratified, alien future” based on the book by M.T. Anderson.

Blackk plays a teenage aspiring artist who lives in a near-future in which an alien species known as the vuvv has taken over Earth. After the vuvv’s labour-saving technology causes Earth’s job market and global economy to collapse, the teen and his girlfriend cook up a scheme to make much-needed money by broadcasting their dating life to the fascinated aliens. But the two teens come to hate each other and can’t break up without bankrupting their families.
