According to Hollywood Reporter, "Guava Island" is produced by Glover's alter ego, Childish Gambino, and is directed by Hiro Murai, the man behind Gambino's "This is America" and "Sober" music videos.

“We live in paradise but none of us actually have the time or the means to live here,” Glover says in the new teaser trailer, which begins with the sweet strums of a guitar and ends with what looks like a hostage situation.

The film also features stars Letitia Wright and Nonso Anozie.

Both Glover and Rihanna have kept quiet about the mysterious project since a photo of the stars on the set of the film went viral in August.
