Too posh to push? What if you're too busy to even carry a baby to term? The Womb Center has a solution.

The Pod Generation, a new sci-fi satire from French-American filmmaker Sophie Barthés (Cold Souls, Madam Bovary), had its world premiere earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, and the first trailer is now online.

The movie stars Emilia Clarke, who can currently be seen as G'iah in Marvel's Secret Invasion, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who played Mordo in the Doctor Strange movies.

The story follows New York couple Rachel (Clarke) and Alvy (Ejiofor), who want to start a family... but aren't interested in doing it the old-fashioned way. In the (very) near future, children can be "grown" in detachable, artificial wombs (a.k.a. pods) that allow both parents to share the pregnancy on equal footing.

Alvy has some concerns, but Rachel ultimately convinces him to give it a go, and the couple begin the pod process.

This may seem like the perfect set-up for a grim sci-fi thriller or horror film, but the trailer actually has more of a light-hearted, romantic comedy tone. Unfortunately, critics haven't been overly impressed thus far, as the film is currently sitting at 38% on Rotten Tomatoes with 50 reviews counted.

Check out the trailer for yourselves, and let us know if you plan on giving this one a go.

Along with Clarke and Ejiofor, the cast includes Rosalie Craig, Vinette Robinson, and Jean-Marc Barr.

The Pod Generation arrives in theaters on Aug. 11.
