George Lucas spent 17 YEARS getting this museum built and its first movie premiere is not Star Wars, not some legacy franchise, but an ORIGINAL DreamWorks film rooted in Filipino mythology.
Even better, Forgotten Island premiered there ONE DAY after the museum opened to the public. 😭
A building dedicated to the history of visual storytelling opened its movie-premiere era by giving a new culture and a new story the spotlight.
That is actually a pretty perfect first film.
DreamWorks’ ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ is the first film to host its world premiere at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in LA.
