Emilia Clarke, who essayed the character of Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones and got four Emmy nominations for it, and BAFTA winner Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave) are to appear together in The Pod Generation, a sci-fi romantic comedy to be directed by the French-American director Sophie Barthes.

Reports claim the story is set in a near future where AI is all the rage and nature is becoming a distant memory.  It revolves around Rachel (Clarke) and Alvy (Ejiofor), a New York couple, who are ready to take their relationship to the next level and start a family. Rachel’s work gives them a chance to use a new tool developed by a tech giant, Pegasus, which offers couples the opportunity to share pregnancy on a more equal footing via detachable artificial wombs, or pods.
