“Star Wars” fans are about to get an inside look at Industrial Light & Magic with the upcoming “Light & Magic” documentary that will air on Disney+.
Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) is a motion picture visual effects company that was founded on May 26, 1975 by George Lucas, to create the special effects for the film “Star Wars: A New Hope.” ILM has worked on every “Star Wars” film since, and others, as well.
Upcoming films ILM has worked on include “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Magic,” “Jurassic World Dominion,” and “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
In this six-part documentary series, Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan (co-writer of several “Star Wars” films) takes viewers on an adventure behind the curtains of Industrial Light & Magic.
