UPDATED JUL 3, 2019

Salma Hayek and Owen Wilson are soon going to come together in a love story like never before in 'Bliss'.

A science-fiction drama, 'Bliss' is written by Mike Cahill, who will also be directing the movie. 'Bliss' is the story of people looking for exactly that – bliss, in all of this world of pain and misery. The protagonists, Wilson and Hayek, are looking for happiness. But not just that, there is a story within this story – one with a possibly darker end. 

Release date

There is no release date out yet. MEA WorldWide will update this article once the news is out. 

Plot

The story follows recently divorced Greg (played by Owen Wilson) who meets the enchanting Isabel (played by Salma Hayek), 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 world simulation inside of the beautiful, peaceful “real” world of bliss. Doubtful at first, Greg eventually discovers there may be some truth to Isabel’s wild conspiracy theory.
