From the official Netflix twitter account:

Here's a first look at Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt in The Electric State. Directed by the Russo Brothers. Coming 2025.

After a robot uprising in the '90s, an orphaned teen searching for her brother travels the American West with a robot, a smuggler, and his sidekick.

And some more information from Dark Horizons;

Millie Bobbie Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Espostito, Anthony Mackie, Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, and Jenny Slate star in the coming-of-age sci-fi western tale set in a retro-futuristic alternate 1990s.

Brown plays an orphaned teenager who traverses the American West with her robot friend and Keats (Pratt), an eccentric drifter and veteran of the robot-human war in search of her younger brother.

The project is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Simon Stalenhag. Shot in October 2022 and wrapping in February 2023, further reshoots took place in March and April of this year.

While Vanity Fair published the photos, not mentioned in the piece accompanying it is all the talk of the film’s budget with the movie reportedly costing around $320 million to produce.

The budget blowout on this film is rumored to be one of the reasons why Netflix reassessed its film division and brought Dan Lin to replace Scott Stuber as head of film with a mandate of being more frugal.

The pictures were released in this one block.

I'm annoyed that there's no mention of Simon Stålenhag despite the fact that this movie is based on his artwork.

Yeah, I missed it heh. I was looking for the funny Swedish letters and missed his name.

Yep. Thats the real reason I'm excited for this movie.

I feel like having a bunch of A-list actors kinda takes away from it.
