Cool Trailer for Lucasfilm's LIGHT & MAGIC Docuseries, Which Chronicles the Fascinating History of Industrial Light & Magic
Disney+ has released the first trailer and poster for Lucasfilm and Imagine Documentaries’ upcoming documentary series Light & Magic. This immersive series “chronicles the untold history of world-renowned Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the special visual effects, animation and virtual production division of Lucasfilm.”
I attended a presentation for this docuseries at Star Wars Celebration, and I learned all kinds of cool and fun behind the scenes stories about ILM and the creation of Star Wars that I never knew before. This doc is going to be filled with all kinds of fascinating information about many of the classic films that ILM has worked on over the years, and it’s a must-watch for movie fans!
The series comes from Lawrence Kasdan (Indiana Jones, The Empire Strikes Back), who was granted unparalleled access, and he “takes viewers on an adventure behind the curtain of Industrial Light & Magic. Learn about the pioneers of modern filmmaking as we go on a journey to bring George Lucas' vision to life. These filmmakers would then go on to inspire the entire industry of visual effects.”
Kasdan directed the series, which was produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Justin Wilkes, Lawrence Kasdan, Kathleen Kennedy and Michelle Rejwan.
All six episodes of Light & Magic will premiere on July 27th, exclusively on Disney+.
