The Electric State star Giancarlo Esposito explains why adapting the bleak novel into a family friendly adventure was the right decision: "I'm going to bring my children with me"

Giancarlo Esposito in The Electric State.

Netflix’s upcoming family friendly sci-movie The Electric State could have turned out a whole lot scarier if it had directly followed its source material. But, directing duo the Russo brothers and their team decided to lighten some of the themes so the movie could be enjoyed by a wider range of ages, something that star Giancarlo Esposito says is a good thing.

"To me, I feel like this is a movie I'm going to bring my children with me to," says the star to GamesRadar+. "They still have actively developing minds about the world around them who are very concerned about what's going on today. I think it's brilliant that our youth are waking up earlier due to the advent of the cell phone and computers, and I think they're exposed to more at an earlier age."
