The Electric Slate: Millie Bobby Brown and Avengers Endgame directors are preparing the next film on Netflix

Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo have landed their next film The Electric Slate, starring Millie Bobby Brown, a home on the Netflix streaming platform.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the development comes after nearly six months of negotiations. Netflix is ​​also the home of the next Russo Brothers film, The Gray Man, starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, which will be released on July 22.

The Electric Slate was previously installed at Universal Pictures, which ultimately dropped the deal due to budget issues. The new budget is over $200 million (about Rs 1,579 crore), sources said.

Millie Bobby Brown will star in The Electric State, a sci-fi film directed by The @Russo_Brothers.

The Gray Man also had a budget of $200 million, which would make it Netflix’s most expensive movie of all time.

The Electric Slate marks the second big-budget collaboration from Netflix and the Russo Brothers, known for the Marvel Studios blockbusters Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Brown, the star of Netflix’s Stranger Things series and Enola Holmes film franchise, will headline The Electric Slate. Chris Pratt, who starred in the Russos’ Avengers movies, is in talks to join her.

Based on the acclaimed 2018 graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag’s Tales from the Loop, The Electric Slate follows an orphaned teenager, played by Brown, “who traverses an American West reminiscent of a retro future, complete with a sweet but mysterious robot and a wanderer eccentric, looking for his younger brother”.

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, whose credits include The Gray Man and The avengers films, will adapt Stalenhag’s novel for the screen.

Russos is also producing the feature through its AGBO banner, along with company co-founder Mike Larocca. Chris Castaldi and Patrick Newall are also credited as producers.

Markus, McFeely, Angela Russo-Otstot, Jake Aust and Geoff Haley are attached to executive produce the Netflix film.

Production on The Electric Slate is set to begin later this year in Atlanta.
