A real visionary
In 1975, George Lucas founded Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), a visual effects company that created the special effects for ‘Star Wars’. It is a division of his own film production company Lucasfilm. ILM went on to become the special effects house for many blockbusters, including ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, ‘E.T.’, ‘Return of the Jedi’, ‘Cocoon’, ‘Labyrinth’, ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’, ‘Jumanji’, ‘Titanic’, and the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise.
