By When it comes to budgets, no-one gets to spend like Joe and Anthony Russo.
After spending around $320-400 million each on the last two “Avengers” films, $200 million on the Gosling-Evans Netflix action thriller “The Gray Man,” and $300 million on the six-episode “Citadel” series, they appear to be at it again.
World of Reel reports that the pair’s new Netflix film “Electric State” has reportedly cost around $320 million to produce.
In fact they claim the budget blowout on the film is one of the reasons why Netflix recently reassessed its film division and brought Dan Lin to replace Scott Stuber as head of film with a mandate of being more frugal.
Millie Bobbie Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Espostito, Anthony Mackie, Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, and Jenny Slate star in the coming-of-age sci-fi western tale set in a retro-futuristic past.
Brown plays an orphaned teenager who traverses the American West with her robot friend and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.
The project shot in October 2022 and wrapped in February 2023, though had a temporary pause after a crew member died in an off-set car crash. Reshoots reportedly took place in March and April of this year.
No word on a potential release date but 2025 seems likely. It joins reports of another costly film of late, Joseph Kosinski and Brad Pitt’s F1 Apple movie, which is claimed by the outlet to be coming in at a cost of $300 million.
