Weird stuff’ Millie Bobby Brown to star in new Netflix movie from the Russo brothers, directors of Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War† The electrical state is a retro-futuristic sci-fi film that follows Brown, a robotic companion and an “eccentric drifter” as she travels the American West in search of her brother, Netflix said in its casting announcement†
Aside from the involvement of Brown and the Russo brothers, the most interesting aspect of The electrical state is that it is based on an illustrated book by Simon Stålenhag. Stålenhag is the artist behind some incredible retro-futuristic illustrations, and his other books include: Stories from the Loop, which Amazon recently adapted into its own TV series.
