Netflix has closed a deal for a big-budget movie from Joe and Anthony Russo (Avengers: Endgame) and Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things).
I'm excited to hear that the next project for Russo Bros. is an adaptation of the acclaimed 2018 illustrated novel by Simon Stalenhag, the writer-artist who also created Tales From the Loop.
They have a proven talent in Millie Bobby Brown locked in and Netflix has granted a rumored 200 million dollar budget.
That's not all, there are discussions Chris Pratt may co-star.
IT APPARENTLY TOOK HALF A YEAR TO NEGOTIATE, BUT THIS PROJECT IS SLATED TO BEGIN IN OCTOBER.
IN THE JUNE 28TH HOLLYWOOD REPORTER ARTICLE, WRITTEN BY THE TALENTED BORYS KIT, WE LEARN THAT IT APPARENTLY TOOK HALF A YEAR TO NEGOTIATE,
BUT JOE AND ANTHONY RUSSO'S 'THE ELECTRIC SLATE' IS SLATED TO BEGIN IN OCTOBER.
The story centers on an orphaned teenager (Millie Brown) who traverses an American West that is reminiscent of a retro-future with a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.
THE RUSSO DUO, KNOWN FOR THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR AND AVENGERS: ENDGAME MEGA-BLOCKBUSTERS, WILL DIRECT THE ELECTRIC STATE FOR THE STREAMING GIANT, NETFLIX.
THE MOST RECENT PROJECT FROM THE RUSSO'S IS
"THE GREY MAN" WITH Ryan Gosling,
SET TO DEBUT IN JULY...
AS A WRITER, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE A COLLABORATOR YOU TRUST, AND WHO ISN'T MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN YOUR OWN SIBLING.
MY OWN BROTHER AND I HAVE EVEN PITCHED A FEW PROJECTS TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE KNOW EACH OTHERS SENSE OF TASTE SO WELL.
I HOPE THAT THESE TALENTED BROTHERS BRING THE KITCHEN SINK AT US AS THEY DID IN AVENGERS: ENDGAME.
IT'S ALSO SMART THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN A PRESOLD AUDIENCE WITHIN THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL.
