CLEVELAND, Ohio — Look closely during the opening moments of “The Electric State,” the new sci-fi adventure from Cleveland-born directors Joe and Anthony Russo, and you’ll see a familiar sight. The Plain Dealer makes a cameo with a headline declaring the start of a war against the robots. It’s a subtle shout out to their hometown by the brothers, who’ve never forgotten where they come from.
“We grew up with a real work ethic and that kind of tough-nosed Cleveland attitude,” Joe said. “That’s probably helped us more than anything in the business, that stick-to-itiveness.”
