Luck was on director Peggy Holmes‘ side when the film Luck landed in her lap, a project about a young woman in the foster-care system looking for her happy ending.

Holmes spoke about all the layers that went into creating the world in which protagonist Sam Greenfield (Eva Noblezada) exists during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles awards-season event, and what attracted her to the animated film that found a home at Apple.

“I was asked to take a look at this project and there were two things that I was really drawn to, and one was the idea that Sam was growing up in the foster-care system. I thought it could be a great opportunity to create an emotional story about someone with no family finding a forever family,” Holmes said.

Easter Sunday premiere

Jo Koy debuted his family comedy Easter Sunday on Tuesday at the Tcl Chinese Theatre alongside costars Jimmy O. Yang and Tiffany Haddish, producer Dan Lin and director Jay Chandrasekhar.

It’s your lucky day! AppleTV’s newest animated film, “Luck,” comes out Friday, Aug. 5.

With voice acting from Whoopi Goldberg and Jane Fonda, the fantasy comedy will explore what happens when the unluckiest person stumbles into the Land of Luck.

If you’re feeling lucky, here’s how to watch “Luck” ahead of its release date.

Will “Luck” be in theaters?

No, the animated flick will not have a theatrical release and will only be available to stream.

Is “Luck” streaming?

Yes, “Luck” will debut exclusively on Apple TV+.

What is “Luck” about?

The comedy follows Sam Greenfield (Eva Noblezada), the unluckiest person in the world, as she attempts to change her fate. When she unintentionally discovers the Land of Luck, she teams up with magical creatures to turn her luck around.

Who is in the “Luck” cast?

Eva Noblezada voices Sam alongside veterans Goldberg and Fonda, who play The Captain,...

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on Wbgr-fm on August 4th, reviewing “Luck,” an animated movie treat featuring the voices of Simon Pegg and Jane Fonda. The film will stream on Apple TV+ beginning August 5th.

Rating: 4.5/5.0

Sam (voice of Eva Noblezada) is an 18-year-old foster child, known for her incredible bad luck, who has reached the end of her orphanage stay, even though she is best pals with fellow foster child Hazel (Adelynn Spoon). Now in the real world, her bad luck follows her into a new apartment and job. When she shares some food with a black cat named Bob (Simon Pegg), he drops a lucky penny, which changes Sam’s fortunes. But just like her bad luck, he needs that penny back, and reveals that not only that he can talk, but he lives in the Land of Luck,...

Full disclosure: I don’t believe in luck, but I do believe that “Luck” — the first feature-length toon from David Ellison-backed Skydance Animation — represents a force for good in the world. It’s not easy developing both a pipeline and a project that could compete with the Disneys and DreamWorks out there. While the new studio’s debut can’t touch “Toy Story,” it’s an auspicious start for a talented group of storytellers.

After Lasseter got involved, “Luck” changed direction — and directors — picking up choreographer-turned-helmer Peggy Holmes and shifting to a plot full of cute supporting characters (lilting leprechauns! dancing bunnies!). Still, the creative team never quite cracked their promising subject, settling on a plucky but unlucky 18-year-old orphan who travels to the source of both good and bad luck — a garish Willy Wonka-esque parallel world where most of the movie takes place — in order to collect...

Good fortune is a very real and quantifiable asset in the 3-D CG animated feature “Luck,” the first animated venture from Skydance Media – and the first project produced by disgraced industry figure John Lasseter since allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2017.

Sam, a self-declared unlucky girl raised in foster care, doesn’t think of luck, or lack thereof, as a superstitious belief or as a placebo to explain the unexplainable events in our unpredictable day to day. For her, it’s the root cause of all her misfortune, big and small, including missing out on being adopted. Now that she has aged out of the system, her only desire is for her younger friend Hazel to find a forever home.

A longtime choreographer at Walt Disney Studios, Peggy Holmes directs this exceptionally crafted magical adventure. Despite having an emotional arc that becomes evident within its first few minutes, “Luck” registers...

Sam Greenfield (voiced by Hadestown’s Eva Noblezada) might just be the world’s unluckiest person. The 18-year-old protagonist of Apple TV+ and Skydance Animation’s wholesome film Luck is an expert in poor timing, unhappy accidents and minor disasters. (Sometimes major ones, too). Random objects fall on her head, she slips and trips, and almost everything she touches breaks. Despite her general misfortune, Sam is a perennial optimist — a woman who prefers to look on the brighter side.

Luck tells the story of how Sam momentarily comes into better fortunes, loses that opportunity and sets out to find it again. If Apple’s extensive marketing campaign has got you doing a double take, you aren’t alone. Luck is the kind of hopeful, detailed tale Pixar would release, but this is not a product of the animation behemoth — not really. It’s the brainchild of Skydance Animation,...

It seems like her luck is finally about to change when she finds a magical penny, “something that could finally turn my life around!”

“Watchmen” hit a person best with its season — and possibly series — finale on Sunday, which scored 1.6 million viewers across all of HBO’s platforms, according to the pay TV channel.

On Oct. 20, the series premiere of the Regina King-led drama, which is Damon Lindelof’s TV sequel to Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore’s iconic graphic novel, scored 1.5 million multiplatform viewers across HBO, HBO Now and HBO Go. The episode marked the strongest digital debut for the premium cable channel since the launch of “Westworld” in 2016.

Last night, HBO’s 9 p.m. airing of the finale episode, titled “See How They Fly,” alone drew 935,000 viewers, which is an improvement of 14% over last week’s installment and 17% above the series debut, which brought in 800,000 viewers with its initial telecast, according to HBO.

War is brewing in the latest trailer for HBO’s Watchmen, so we’re going to get this out of the way early: We’re on whatever side Regina King’s Angela plays for.

If the reasoning put forth at the beginning of the clip is to be believed, Angela is driven by trauma, obsessed with justice and has experienced grievous injustice in her lifetime. But that doesn’t stop her from donning a mask and kicking down doors in the pursuit of good — even if that means, as she informs Don Johnson’s police chief Judd Crawford, getting a little rough.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Tuesday, September 3, 2019.

HBO has finally set a premiere date for its adaptation of Watchmen.

The long-in-the-works superhero drama will hit the air Sunday, October 20 at 9/8c, just one week after Succession Season 2 wraps.

HBO’s adaptation is “set in an alternate history where ‘superheroes’ are treated as outlaws.”

The limited series promises to embrace the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.

Alan Moore, whose popular graphic novel “Watchmen” will provide the basis for an HBO drama created by Damon Lindelof, is “not thrilled” about the new project, HBO programming president Casey Bloys said Wednesday.

That’s not a surprise: Moore has famously opposed attempts to adapt his work for the screen. Asked if Moore has changed his stance, Bloys said no.

“I think that remains the case. That he’s not thrilled,” Bloys said in a Television Critics Association Q&a.

It sure seems like another major “Watchmen” character from Alan Moore’s comic will be a big presence on Damon Lindelof’s upcoming adaptation for HBO.

The network dropped the first full-length trailer Saturday morning during San Diego Comic-Con, with the three-minute video (which you can view above) revealing that Dr. Manhattan is alive and well, still spending his time on Mars… that is until the end of the trailer, when a blue hand picks up a Dr. Manhattan mask in an empty street.

The series will debut in October.

Though HBO hasn’t shared any character details, it’s been reported that Jeremy Irons will play an older version of Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias, though the trailer showed a newspaper headline announcing his death.

While a guest on the Empire Film Podcast, he revealed that he’s playing a new character named Looking Glass, which as many of you know, is not a part of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' original Watchmen graphic novel. He says:

"My character's name is Looking Glass, and it's a really interesting, intriguing character. I don't really completely understand him, and that's intentional. Damon Lindelof metes out facts about your character as you go along... So I'm learning as I go along with this guy is, and trying to... It's almost like fresco painting. The clay is always wet."

He goes on to describe Looking Glass as "a good looking cop, the native Oklahoman isn't...

Jean Smart has joined the cast for Damon Lindelof’s upcoming “Watchmen” adaptation for HBO, where she will co-star.

While character details are sparse, Smart will play an FBI agent investigating a murder.

Set in an alternate history where superheroes are treated as outlaws, “Watchmen,” embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own, per HBO.

A few months ago is was rumored that Jeremy Irons might be taking on the role of Adrian Veidt, a.k.a. Ozymandias in HBO’s new Watchmen series. Today, /Film has confirmed that Irons is, in fact, playing the character who as you know played a key role in the original comic series. The character will obviously be older.

The character was previously described as an “aging and imperious lord of a British manor.” It was also said the he is "highly intelligent and won’t let you forget it. Think William Hurt with slight Asperger’s. He’s used to being obeyed and always correct. Arrogant, erudite and patrician. Physically fit, he’s never missed a workout in his life." That sounds a lot like Ozymandias.

We don’t know how big of a role that the character will have in the series, but since he is being...

He goes on to note that the plan is for the series to "subvert the basic idea of what it means to be a superhero." He then makes an interesting comment regarding the series could end up being "what the fans need, not what they want.

HBO has officially ordered Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen to series and I'm pretty excited about that. The series is based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons DC graphic novel, but the series will not be an adaptation of that.

This series will expand on that universe and Lindelof has stressed that he would not be messing with the original story, which is the best way to handle the material without pissing off the fans. The official description released is as follows:

"Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own."

When talking about the new characters that will fill the story, Lindelof said:

"Some of the characters will be unknown.
