In a recent panel at New York Comic Con, actor Chris Pratt opened up about his experience working on the highly anticipated Netflix sci-fi film “The Electric State” and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude in the movie industry. Pratt, known for starring roles in blockbuster movies like “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the upcoming “Super Mario Bros.” film, did not hold back when addressing unprofessional behavior on film sets.
The 45-year-old actor emphasized that “there is no room for bad attitudes” during movie production. He stated complaints and negativity damage the process and experience for everyone involved. Pratt suggested those working in the privileged film industry should feel grateful for the opportunity instead of complaining about challenges.
Pratt had great praise for his 20-year-old co-star Millie Bobby Brown, known for “Stranger Things.” He called her an “incredible” actress with an exceptional work ethic and caring nature. During breaks in filming, Brown would organize efforts to help rescue and adopt animals in need. “She truly has a huge heart and love for animals,” Pratt shared.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, known for “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame”, “The Electric State” tells the story of a teenage orphan navigating a post-robot uprising world. Pratt plays a character who accompanies Brown’s character on a journey through the dangerous “Exclusion Zone.”
Anthony Russo noted the challenges in adapting the graphic novel’s complex story and atmosphere into a cohesive two-hour movie. However, Pratt was reportedly moved to tears by the film’s unique premise and emotional depth.
Set for a March 2025 Netflix debut, early buzz suggests “The Electric State” could deliver a unique sci-fi viewing experience for audiences thanks to its original storytelling and star-studded cast that also includes Ke Huy Quan and Giancarlo Esposito. Pratt’s enthusiasm and comments serve as an important reminder of maintaining professionalism and positivity within the film industry.
