Watch the stars become pod parents in August.

The future of technology and A.I. in human life is a bit scary to envision as more and more jobs and natural functions fall to machines. In the not-so-distant future, even childbirth, one of humanity's inherent gifts, can and likely will be changed forever by the presence of technology.

The Pod Generation envisions what a near future where A.I. is all the rage and technology has completely overtaken everything natural in the world would be like. Rachel and Alvy are a New York couple planning to have a baby, but their philosophies couldn't be more different. Alvy is a botanist and purist who wants a natural birth while rising tech executive Rachel, as shown in the trailer, literally dreams of shopping for a baby.

Part of the romantic comedy of The Pod Generation comes from Rachel and Alvy getting used to the unusual setup of the pod and the irregularities that arise from it. Once Alvy gets used to it, however, he quickly grows attached to the child even if Rachel struggles to feel the same. Through their wild ride of pod birth, they confront what it means to be parents, grow closer, and ultimately take risks to ensure their pod child has the life they hope for.

"Honestly, this was something that I'm so fortunate to have a producer credit on it, but I was just hellbent to be in this movie and therefore needed the movie to exist for me to be in it, so it was kind of like that. So I kind of [came to have] this producorial role simply through my bloody mindedness of just desperately, desperately wanting to work with Sophie and desperately wanting to do this film.
