Step Aside, ‘Stranger Things’: Millie Bobby Brown to Star in New Sci-Fi Movie on Netflix

Netflix made the big announcement on all their social media platforms, which gave a brief overview of the film’s narrative. The Electric State will revolve around an orphaned teenager (Brown), who embarks on a journey to the American West with a robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.

The movie adaptation is based on the 2018 graphic novel written by author Simon Stalenhag. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely will serve as screenwriters, while the Russo Brothers will direct and produce the film. No further details have been released regarding the project, but production is slated to begin this October in Atlanta, Georgia.

Oh, we’ll definitely be watching.
