Cory Finley’s feature adaptation of National Book Award winner Landscape With Invisible Hand has added Clifton Collins Jr. (Nightmare Alley, Jockey), Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark), Josh Hamilton (Eighth Grade) and Brooklynn MacKinzie (Truth Be Told).
Production begins this week on Finley’s third movie following the critically acclaimed Thoroughbreds and Bad Education.
The new stars join Asante Blackk, Tiffany Haddish, and Kylie Rogers in the big screen take of M.T. Anderson’s novel, which is a heightened comedy set in a deeply stratified, alien future.

He recently wrapped production on Susanna Fogel’s psychological thriller Cat Person and Ari Aster’s Disappointment Blvd. He is represented by WME.
