We were saddened to learn of the passing of the legendary Robert Duvall today. Robert’s shared DNA with ILM began a few years before our founding on the George Lucas-directed “THX 1138”, and in the decades to follow we were honored to have contributed to his film “Deep Impact”, along with his final film role in “The Pale Blue Eye”. Our thoughts are with his wife Luciana, and all that were lucky to have known him.
