The plot of the film follows a woman created to be an ideal wife for a brilliant entrepreneur. However, she rejects her creator and is forced to flee into a world that "sees her as a monster," Deadline reported.
While she's on the run, the woman "finds her true identity, her surprising power, and the strength to remake herself as her own creation."
Along with Johansson, Jonathan Lia of These Pictures will produce the film. It will be written by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo and directed by Sebastin Lelio.
The film will be the latest in the Apple-A24 partnership. Past Apple-A24 films include "On the Rocks," which stars Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray and debuted on Apple TV+ on Friday, and Grace Kaufman-headed "The Sky is Everywhere."

The last time I can remember a movie about a "good robot" was "Short Circuit" that I saw in the 1980s. Those were all practical effects, no CGI, and it still stands up today as an impressive actual robot. That was about 40 years ago and it's still very impressive as a robot even today.
I wouldn't put the replicants from Blade Runner in the same category as the Terminator, or the Agents from The Matrix. While the replicants were killers, they had a lot more depth and had complex emotions like love (Roy and Pris, Leon and Zhora) and the fear of death.
Terminator: self aware and defending itself from destruction
Alien: Ash was following human orders
Blade Runner: escaping their enslavement and trying to get more than their predetermined short life limited by their creators
etc
This sounds like Westworld, or Ex Machina, which is similar to those above as well.
