This is also a positive sign that, as vaccines become available, the theatrical market is returning.”
Stephen McFeely who will be part of writing the script of the movie also commented on the upcoming project and how he loves working with The Russo Brothers and wish to always write for them. McFeely quoted,”We’d have Joe and Anthony direct everything that we write and were excited the timing worked out for them to come on as directors. What’s nice about this is the themes of Electric State syncs up with their interests in technology and feels like the perfect property for them.”
