Los Angeles, Aug 12: Actors Stanley Tucci, Michelle Yeoh and Jason Alexander have boarded the cast of Anthony and Joe Russo’s next directing venture “The Electric Slate”.
Starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the movie is based on the acclaimed 2018 graphic novel by Simon Stalenhag of “Tales from the Loop” fame.
The project is set up at Netflix, marking the director duo’s third collaboration with streamer after their recent directorial “The Gray Man” and the 2020 production “Extraction”.
In a statement, posted on its official website, the streaming service also revealed that “Succession” star Brian Cox and actor-comedian Jenny Slate will feature in the movie in voice roles.
