“Kubrick sort of depends on the month.”
JOE RUSSO: Yes, we do.
Both of you with the same movie?

JOE RUSSO: No, I don’t think so.
ANTHONY RUSSO: I don’t know if it’s the same movie.
It’s really hard.

I love Stanley Kubrick.
It’s so hard for me to pick a favorite.
JOE RUSSO: It is.

Kubrick sort of depends on the month, right?
I have a different favorite.
I agree with that answer.
There’s no wrong answer.
But there are so many.
Listen, there’s no wrong answer.
The answer is all of them.
JOE RUSSO: It was very difficult to make that movie.
It took us five years to make it.
It took a lot of prep from a production design standpoint and a design standpoint.
The daylight shots, I couldn’t tell.
It’s fucking great.
I normally don’t go deep on VFX, but I want to commend everyone who worked on it.
Talk a little bit about bringing this to life because the VFX could either make or break this movie.
If the VFX don’t look good, this movie doesn’t work at all.
It wasn’t slick, the look of these robots.
So, it was a combination of all those factors that allowed us to have these really strong graphics.
I love talking about editing.
This movie has so many VFX shots in it, and every VFX shot costs a lot of money.
Was there a pressure to deliver a movie that’s two hours or an hour and 50?
JOE RUSSO: Never.
There wasn’t ever.
We’ve had a great relationship with Netflix.
They really have let us make the movies that we want to make.
We tried to make this one in the studio system and it just wasn’t going to be affordable.
It costs a lot of money to do that.
JOE RUSSO: No, we didnt.
We were tough on our material anyway.
So, we were just tough on the material.
I don’t even know what the running time is now.
ANTHONY RUSSO: It’s about two hours where we landed.
We’re really world-building in this story.
I know, it’s some other movies that you’re working on.
For fans, I’m hearing you’re filming in London.
Where and when are you filming?
JOE RUSSO: We are in London.
We’re there now.
We’re working away.
We roll cameras sometime in April, and that’s on the first one.
Then, the second one will be shortly behind that.
Do you have, like, a six-month shoot?
How long are you going?
ANTHONY RUSSO: Its a standard-length shoot.
JOE RUSSO: So, six months for each of them.
Do you know when we’re going to start hearing about casting and which characters are coming in?
JOE RUSSO: Never.
Not until you go to the theater.
I don’t believe that.
There are these things called set pics and whatnot.
JOE RUSSO: Were pretty good about shutting that down.
ANTHONY RUSSO: We’ve sort of strategized to hopefully be effective with that.
Its a lot of work.
JOE RUSSO: We are doing quite a bit of that.
We dont want people getting photographs, so we are being pretty stringent.
Do you view the movie already as a two-and-a-half or three-hour film?
Do you think it’s going to be one of those?
The Electric Stateis now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
