Millie Bobby Brown befriends robots in Netflix’s ‘The Electric State’ trailer [Watch]
The Electric State looks like the most Netflix movie ever made. It’s a sci-fi action dramedy starring Millie Bobby Brown that reportedly cost over $300 million to produce due to Netflix’s talent buyout compensation structure. You can gaze upon all that money in the new trailer the streaming service released Wednesday, which has 53,000 views after three hours at press time.
The film is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, directors of Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and The Gray Man. It stars MBB with long hair and Chris Pratt with a different hairstyle than he’s ever had before. The film is set in a retro-futurist alternate universe 1994 after a robot uprising ended with humans banishing robots to a sort of open-air prison spanning much of the American West. Brown plays Michelle, a teenage girl who teams up with a nice robot and a disillusioned veteran of the robot war (Pratt) to travel into the wasteland to find her missing brother.
