Netflix will take us on a journey in 2025 through a post-apocalyptic and robotic wasteland in what is set to be one of the most expensive movies of all time for the platform, even though they have been loosening their purse strings a lot lately. But The Electric State could take the cake with reports of a $320 million investment. Here are some images:
As you may suspect, this is not the first time we have talked about The Electric State. On one hand, its budget is attention-grabbing. On the other hand, the film is a production directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers behind the wonderful action blockbusters that are both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Additionally, it stars Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), a magnet for the Netflix audience after the success she achieved a few months ago with the release of Damsel.
A road movie through a retrofuturistic landscape
Of course, another reason to keep an eye on the project is that we love science fiction stories. This one in particular is marketed as a fairy tale, as well as a road movie, where we follow the story of Michelle (Brown), a young woman accompanied by a kind but mysterious robot. “The pair teams up with an eccentric drifter (Pratt) and embarks on a road trip across the country to find Michelle’s younger brother. Along the way, they will traverse an electrified and retrofuturistic American landscape.” Based on the images, I would add, with a very distinct 90s aesthetic.
The Electric State is an adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag, although it seems that the Russo brothers will further develop its concept. We will have to wait until 2025 to see it when the feature film is released. In the meantime, you have other science fiction films on the platform like Rebel Moon or Atlas, an action and robot movie starring Jennifer Lopez.
Joe and Anthony Russo, by the way, will soon return to Marvel Studios to take on the next two Avengers films.
