Salma Hayek and Owen Wilson Set to Star in Sci-Fi Drama BLISS for Amazon

Salma Hayek (Once Upon a Time in Mexico, The Hitman’s Bodyguard) and Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Mastermind) have been cast in the upcoming sci-fi drama for Amazon entitled Bliss. Mike Cahill will be directing from the script he wrote. Variety reports the following synopsis for the film:

Wilson portrays a recently divorced man whose life is falling apart when he meets Hayek’s character, a woman who lives on the streets and is convinced that the polluted, broken world around them is not real. She believes they are living in an ugly, harsh simulated world inside of the beautiful, peaceful “real” world of bliss.

This sounds like a very different project for the actors. Sad, but interesting as well. Production began this week in Los Angeles. Does this story pique your interest?
