Apple is inviting us to step into the magical “Land Of Luck” to learn a thing or two about life in their newest original film Luck. Featuring a star studded cast of Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Simon Pegg, Eva Noblezada and so many more, the story follows Noblezada‘s Sam Greenfield as she is at an incredibly defining moment in her life; aging out of foster care. Through her beautiful relationship work young foster sister Hazel (Adelynn Spoon) we begun to learn a tragic flaw of Sam, her bad luck. From the little disasters she experiences day to day (her toaster not working, leaves blowing into her bedroom) to the bigger things in life that have left her heartbroken, Sam can’t seem to catch a break. That is until she comes across Simon Pegg’s Bob, the Irish talking cat who has a gift for Sam; a lucky coin that might just turn her luck around. When even that goes south, Sam is forced to enter into the magical land of luck in order to turn her luck around, and it’s in that very place that she learns a thing or two that might just change her perspective as well. This brilliant film opens up viewers eyes to so many big themes as well as the sweet little ones that will warm hearts. We sat down with Eva Noblezada and Flula Borg to talk all about Luck!

There’s a dead white girl in middle of nowhere Texas.
That’s a trendy podcast tagline if there ever was one. Imagine who would narrate it — a soft-voiced, Ivy-educated, high brow comedic actor sounds about right. Like a BJ Novak.
Well, “Vengeance” satirizes exactly that. Novak stars in, writes and directs (in his feature debut) the film, which is about a New Yorker staff writer leaving the effete cocktail parties of Brooklyn intelligentsia for a conspiracy theory-laden, country music-crooning small town in Texas after he learns about the suspected murder of an ex fling. The excursion turns into a podcast project for the writer, which turns into a reflection on himself, the cultural differences between blue cities and red towns and how the former writes about the latter, and other examinations about media.
Novak stars alongside Boyd Holbrook, best known for playing the no nonsense DEA agent who took down Pablo Escobar in Netflix’s “Narcos.” In “Vengeance,” Holbrook plays the goofy, high-energy brother of the “dead white girl.”
Novak and Holbrook spoke to the Knockturnal about the film. Novak shares some of the Coen brothers films that informed his directorial debut, what it was like having NPR’s Terry Gross cameo, and how he handled the satire sensitively. Holbrook, having grown up in a small town, comments on the authenticity of the film’s depiction of rural life, talks about playing against type and working under a first time director.
“Vengeance” hit theaters July 29.
