Production

Development

In July 2017, Paramount Pictures (via Paramount Animation) and Skydance Media formed a multi-year partnership with Ilion Animation Studios, announcing its first animated feature film Luck, with a release date of March 19, 2021.[7] Alessandro Carloni signed on to direct the film, from a script by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger.[8][9] Skydance Animation hired former Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios CCO John Lasseter in late January 2019, as Head of Animation.[10][11] Following Lasseter's hiring, then-chief of Paramount Animation Mirielle Soria announced that Paramount will no longer work with Skydance Animation.[12] Apple Original Films would replace Paramount as a production company on the film, with Apple TV+ distributing.[13] On January 14, 2020, Carloni was replaced by Peggy Holmes, who had previously directed Secret of the Wings (2012) and The Pirate Fairy (2014) for Lasseter, as the film's director.[14] Kiel Murray, screenwriter for Cars (2006) and Cars 3 (2017), was also hired to rewrite the screenplay.[15][1]

Casting

In April 2019, Emma Thompson was hired to voice a character in the film, but left the project after Lasseter was hired.[16] In February 2021, Jane Fonda was cast as The Dragon,[1] and in June, Whoopi Goldberg was cast as The Captain.[6]

Animation

Portions of production were done remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Music

Tanya Donelly and Mt. Joy were originally attached to compose the score for the film,[2] while William J. Caparella served as lead editor.[17][better source needed] However, on November 15, 2021, it was announced that composer John Debney will be replacing them as composer.[2]

Release

Luck is scheduled to be released on August 5, 2022 by Apple TV+ in the United States.[5] The film was originally set to be released on March 19, 2021, but was delayed to February 18, 2022[18][19] before its current release date.[7][20] On May 8, 2020, Skydance Animation president Holly Edwards revealed that the rough cut would have test screenings late in the summer of 2020.[4] On December 16, 2020, Apple TV+ secured the distribution rights to the films Luck and Spellbound.[18][21]
