Netflix’s new blockbuster is revealed
Netflix continues to invest generously in its blockbusters. After losing 200 million dollars for The Gray Man (2022) by Joe and Anthony Russo, the streaming service has been even more generous to the directors ofEnd of games (2019). To produce their next film The Electric Statethe platform would have been validated a budget of $320 million. Which would make it Netflix’s most expensive film (by far).
There is no doubt that the presence in the casting of Millie Bobby Brown will have helped sell such a project. The actress is still as popular as ever and, ever since her reveal in Stranger things (2016), has had a series of Netflix productions. The last being The Lady and the Dragon (2024). At his side inside The Electric State we will find another star in the person of Chris Pratt. Together, they will evolve into a retrofuturistic version of the 1990s that saw robots resembling cartoon characters come into conflict with humans.
Robotic journey for Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt
A first trailer (video on the first page of the article) has been revealed. In these images of The Electric Statelet’s think of a meeting between Transformers and the drawings of the Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. Logical, given that it is the graphic novel of the same name that is at the origin of the film. His works, which include futuristic elements in the campaigns, were already the origin of splendid series Tales from the loop from Prime Video (see our review). We find this same contrast, with these cartoonish cars in the middle of American nature, but with much more action on the agenda.
In the film, the young girl played by Millie Bobby Brown will try find his brother thanks to a robot with a large yellow head and visibly harmless (at least with her). They will be accompanied on their journey by a smuggler played by Chris Pratt. During their adventure they will meet Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Esposito and even Stanley Tucci, and above all many other fun and tender robots. Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Jenny Slate and Alan Tudyk lend their voices to some of them.
The Electric State will come out on Netflix March 14, 2025. The platform therefore decided to start promoting the film quite early. At the same time, with its $320 million budget, the feature film had better top the audience rating.
