Pre-order my upcoming book, ‘Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation’

May 17, 2025

You can now pre-order this ILM 50th anniversary celebration book.

Coming later this year is an incredible book I’ve been part of writing all about the history of Industrial Light & Magic. It’s to celebrate the visual effects studio’s 50th anniversary.

‘Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation’ is being released by Lucasfilm Publishing and ABRAMS, and you can now pre-order it (see the links below). It’s the official decade-by-decade visual retrospective of the legendary visual effects house.

The book was announced at Star Wars Celebration. Check out ILM’s write-up. Inside the book are a wealth of incredible behind the scenes photos.

Thank you to Jeffrey Dillinger for the pic above of all those great ILMers on the ILM 50th panel as they announced it: Fon H Davis, Masa Narita, Rob Coleman, John Knoll, Janet Lewin, Lynwen Brennan, and Rob Bredow.
