First Look at Chloë Grace Moretz and Algee Smith in Machine Uprising Feature ‘Mother/Android’

Hulu has released a first look for their sci-fi movie “ Mother/Android ,” starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Algee Smith . The new film, which debuts Friday, Dec. 17, marks the feature directorial debut of “Project Power” and “ The Batman ” screenwriter Mattson Tomlin .

Set in the near future, Moretz stars in the film as Georgia, who is days away from the arrival of her first child with boyfriend Sam (Smith). “Mother/Android” follows the couple through their treacherous journey of escape as their country is caught in an unexpected war with artificial intelligence. They must face “No Man’s Land” – a stronghold of the android uprising — in hopes of reaching safety before Georgia gives birth. “Mother/Android” also stars Raúl Castillo playing a character named Arthur.

Note the blue eyes in the below images, perhaps the signature look of the new machine overlords? Or just a near-future fashion statement, only time (and the eventual drop of the trailer will tell).

Tomlin, a 2014 graduate of the American Film Institute, has been a talent to watch for some time. The budding filmmaker is riding high on the success of “Project Power” (which debuted on Netflix last year, starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback) and fans are eagerly anticipating his work “The Batman,” which hits theaters on March 4, 2022.

“Mother/Android” is produced by “The Batman” writer/director Matt Reeves, Adam Kassan, Rafi Crohn, Bill Block and Charles Miller.
