The Electric State soundtrack: All the songs in Netflix movie
The latest film from the Russo brothers includes a number of tracks from the '80s and '90s.
The latest film from the Russo brothers has just arrived on Netflix, with the streamer going hard on promotion for The Electric State as it looks to justify the eye-watering $320 million budget that was spent on the movie.
The film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt and is adapted from an acclaimed illustrated novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag - telling a story set in a dystopian world where a robot uprising led to a war between humankind and technology.
This all unfolds in an alternate version of the 1990s, and speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, the directors explained how they wanted to lean on nostalgia while crafting the world.
"It certainly is an homage to Amblin movies," Joe Russo explained. "It's a big adventure film, reminiscent of '80s adventure films, fantasy adventure films. And we thought that that was an interesting intertextual layer to add on top of a movie that was a retro-future film that was in an alternate 1990s.
"And that would help it be evocative of that nostalgia, in a way, because we really wanted to make it feel like this was some collective, shared history we all had and really make the audience feel like they were back in that time."
Of course, one of the ways in which they could tap into this was through their music choices, and if you're wondering which songs appear in the film, read on for the full soundtrack for The Electric State.
