Netflix's upcoming mega-budget film, led by Millie Bobby Brown and directed by Marvel alumni Joe and Anthony Russo, is rumored to cost $320 million. Release details for "The Electric State" are pending.
Details on the film, based on Simon Stålenhag s 2018 novel, are sparse. It features Stranger Things Brown as Michelle, a teen searching the retro-futuristic American West for her brother.
The graphic novel 'The Electric State', likened to 'Stranger Things meets On the Road', was acquired by the Russo brothers in 2017 amid a heated bidding war.
Fans await Netflix's next blockbuster from the Russo brothers, creators of 'The Gray Man', a massive hit with 139.3 million views in 91 days, prompting a sequel in active development.
"The Electric State's budget ballooned to $320m, per World of Reel, due to delays. Originally a Universal project, it's now headed to Netflix after distribution setbacks."
Production delays due to Russo brothers' prior commitments and actor schedules. Filming began in October 2022 but halted for a month after a crew member's tragic off-set death.
