What if aliens invaded Earth but all they really wanted to do was use us for entertainment? That’s the basic premise of the new film, “Landscape with Invisible Hand.”

As seen in the trailer for the film, “Landscape with Invisible Hand” tells the story of two teenagers who fall in love. And to help earn some extra money, they decide to use their love as entertainment for aliens who have come to Earth.

But recently, she’s started branching out a lot more, with films like “The Kitchen,” which showed her dramatic chops. Now, Haddish has a new film on deck, a sci-fi feature titled “Landscape with Invisible Hand,” that looks to continue the new career trajectory for the actress.
