Netflix Picks Up “The Electric State” With Joe & Anthony Russo Directing, Millie Bobby Brown Starring -

Netflix has picked up AGBO’s The Electric State, an adaptation of the illustrated novel by Simon Stålenhag. The Russo brothers are set to direct the adaptation with Millie Bobby Brown starring in the upcoming film. Chris Pratt is in talks for a role in the retro-futuristic sci-fi film.

The film is set in a retro-futuristic past, an orphaned teenager (Millie Bobby Brown) traverses the American West with a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.

The Electric State continues the Russo Brothers and AGBO’s successful partnership with Netflix following the 2020 release of Chris Hemsworth starring in Extraction and recently completed principal photography on Extraction 2, as well as the highly anticipated The Gray Man starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas.

Production on The Electric State will begin this fall.
