Netflix pushes Electronic State.
In 2020, we wrote that Netflix would make a movie directed by the Russo brothers called The Electric State, based on Simon Stålenhag’s vision and painting album. In 2022, it was revealed that The Electronic State would star Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, as well as Michelle Yeoh (later replaced by Ke Huy Quan), Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox and Jenny Slate, later joined by Anthony Mackie , also Woody Harrelson and Giancarlo Esposito. Here is the poster of the movie.
The text of the book, which was also published here, is as follows: “In 1997, a runaway teenager heads west with his yellow toy robot in a strange America. The countryside is polluted by the ruins of huge combat drones and the garbage of an advanced consumer society that has started to decline. As they reach the edge of the continent with their car, a world unfolds before them, in which civilization seems to have surrendered after a long struggle. What can they hope for?
Swedish Simon Stalenhag is one of the hottest and most popular digital artists of recent years. His original and special vision, his images designed with the tools of science fiction, conquered the whole world. In the Electronic State, he presents America as we have never seen it before.”
