In 2023, "Euphoria" star Angus Cloud sadly passed away at the age of 25. It was a particularly tragic loss as the young actor, who played Fezco "Fez" O'Neill on the hit HBO series, was clearly very talented, possessed a seemingly endless amount of charisma, and had a slate of exciting projects in the works at the time he passed. He'll soon posthumously star in the upcoming Universal Monsters film "Abigail," in which kidnappers battle a vampire ballerina, from "Scream" and "Ready or Not" directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. But that's far from the only project outside "Euphoria" that Cloud had in the works.
"Freaky Tales," from "Captain Marvel" directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, caused a small stir at Sundance earlier this year, though a wide release is still being hashed out. The Pedro Pascal-led indie drama focuses on four interconnected stories in 1987 Oakland, and paid tribute to Cloud at its Sundance debut.

Angus Cloud upcoming movies are the late actor’s final offering to fans of his work. Before his untimely death in July 2023, the Euphoria star completed filming on three projects which unfortunately will be his last. One of his posthumous releases, Your Lucky Day, premiered on September 23, 2023, at Fantastic Fest while Freaky Tales and an untitled Universal monsters film are expected to hit the screen in 2024. Cloud’s time on the screen was tragically cut short when he overdosed on a lethal mixture of methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, and benzodiazepines. Cloud was 25 at the time of his death.

A ballerina vampire? ? On Thursday, Universal Pictures released the trailer for the horror film Abigail, starring Melissa Barrera and Angus Cloud, in one of the last films the actor shot before his death last year.
The trailer sees a group of “would-be criminals” as they wait inside a mansion with a 12-year-old ballerina (Alisha Weir) they kidnapped. All the group is instructed to do is watch the little girl overnight to collect a $50 million ransom. The film will premiere in theaters on April 19.

Your Lucky Day is one of Angus Cloud‘s posthumous releases with a couple more in the works.

Before his death, Cloud only recorded film credits in North Hollywood as Walker and The Line...

Director Dan Brown and actress Jessica Garza spoke about their upcoming film Your Lucky Day and their experiences with the late Angus Cloud in their new uInterview.
Brown, who is the writer and director, explained to uInterview founder Erik Meers how the film focuses on a criminal who steals a lottery ticket from an elderly man at a convenience store, which turns into a hostage situation.
“Things spiral out of control from there, there’s a cop in the back who was in the bathroom,” Brown explained. “And one thing leads to the next and he sort of ends up with this ticket and conspires with Jessica’s character and a couple of other people who were in the store at the same time, the hostages, to put together a story so that maybe he can get away with the money but maybe everyone else can too.”
Garza plays one of these hostages.

There are three things that are more addictive and dangerous than anything in this world. These things are money, knowledge, and power. These things, when exercised together or solely, have the power to corrupt anyone. Remember Marlowe’s play about a man named Faustus who summoned the devil? In exchange for all the knowledge and magic known to men and beyond, Faustus agreed to give him his soul after 24 years. Faustus eventually realized the blunder he had made, but it was too late. His greed for knowledge became the final nail in his coffin. Dan Brown’s latest film, Your Lucky Day, explores one such scenario where regular people choose to look the other way and conceal a crime for a decent cut of a lottery win.
Spoilers Ahead
Who Is Sterling? What Did He Do?
The best things in life aren’t free, and Sterling was no stranger to this truth.

The interview includes minor spoilers and has been lightly edited. Screen Anarchy: Thank you both for the film, I really loved it. Can you speak to the tone of it? I was amazed at how it’s such a thrilling genre piece but also incredibly grounded in reality and the desperation we all live in under American capitalism....

Writer-director Daniel Brown’s Your Lucky Day offers a twist-laden take on the hostage crisis film. Set almost entirely within a convenience store, the story revolves around a $156 million-winning lottery ticket and how it triggers a bloody series of events. A young drug dealer, Sterling (the late Angus Cloud), pounces on the opportunity and robs the unlucky winner right before a policeman emerges from the bathroom. Faced with too many loose ends to simply leave and collect the money, Sterling opts to cut in the witnesses that he initially takes as hostages, as long as they help him cover up his crimes.
For a thriller, Your Lucky Day’s atmosphere is oddly and refreshingly relaxed. For one, the characters don’t need much convincing when it comes to going with Sterling’s plan. Some, like the pregnant Ana Marlene (Jessica Garza), even prove quite adept at scheming as they puzzle...

After a shootout occurs, the remaining witnesses begin to question the lengths they’re willing to go for the money and their freedom. Along with Cloud, the feature stars Elliot Knight, Jessica Garza, Sterling Beaumon, Mousa Hussein Kraish, Spencer Garrett, and Jason O’Mara.

"This could be our chance at a better life..." Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled Your Lucky Day, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Dan Brown (not the author). This just premiered at Fantastic Fest a few weeks ago, and it's opening in November. After a dispute over a winning lottery ticket turns into a deadly hostage situation, the witnesses must decide exactly how far they’ll go—and how much blood they’re willing to spill—for a cut of the $156 million prize. Greed and desperation rules America. Ff describes it as "pressure cooker of a morality tale. Effortlessly charismatic, with a canny ability to telegraph the contradictory emotions & restless impulses of marginalized characters, Your Lucky Day marks one of the final performances of the unique young talent whose life was tragically cut short in July of this year." The film...

Before Angus Cloud’s death at age 25 in late July, the Euphoria actor completed work on Daniel Brown’s Your Lucky Day, an intense-looking thriller featuring Cloud as a trivial criminal whose plan to steal a winning lottery ticket spirals out of control. In the Your Lucky Day trailer, Brown depicts how a split decision to seize an opportunity to change your future can turn deadly.
In the promo, Cloud’s desperate character, Sterling, spontaneously decides to rob a lottery winner at a local convenience store. As the conflict intensifies and push comes to shove, Sterling does the unthinkable by killing a rookie cop, landing himself in a position to take hostages or risk incarceration. With $156 million on the line, Sterling and the survivors of the incident enter a pack to split the money after covering Sterling’s tracks. “Nobody ever got rich without doing no crime,” Sterling says in...

Angus Cloud is appearing onscreen for one of the last times in heist movie “Your Lucky Day.”
The “Euphoria” star, who died at age 25 in July 2023, leads writer-director-actor Daniel Brown’s feature directorial debut. Cloud plays drug dealer Sterling, who holds a convenience store hostage after he witnesses an older wealthy man win a $156 million lottery. Jessica Garza, Elliot Knight, and Mousa Hussein Kraish play witnesses, with Sterling Beaumon cast as a cop. The film is adapted from writer Brown’s 2010 short film of the same name, with Rider Strong in the role of Sterling.
“I had written the character based on people I had grown up with: guys who sold drugs and would start fights with frat boys or their stepdads, but who were also super protective and loyal to their friends,” Brown told Entertainment Weekly. “[Cloud’s] stories and outlook were so right on for the character, I just had to go for it.

Before his death at age 25 in late July, Angus Cloud — known for playing Fezco on the hit HBO series Euphoria for two seasons — finished filming a star turn in writer-director Dan Brown’s thriller Your Lucky Day.
The trailer for Brown’s lotto-win hostage flick, which dropped on Friday, reveals Cloud as Sterling, a petty criminal-turned-hostage taker in one of his final film performances. In Your Lucky Day, a dispute over a $156 million winning Megaball Jackpot lottery ticket has a masked and hooded Sterling launching a deadly hostage situation in a small convenience store on Christmas Eve that leads to a rookie cop being shot and the winning ticket holder killed by gunfire.

An intense hostage situation breaks out on Christmas Eve at a convenience store in writer/director Dan Brown’s feature debut, Your Lucky Day (our review). The propulsive, suspenseful thriller features an ensemble cast, with actor Jessica Garza stealing the entire film as the sympathetic yet primal Ana. Both Brown and Garza spoke with Bloody Disgusting about Your Lucky Day at Fantastic Fest, where they chatted about the twisty thriller.
Brown finds inventive ways to keep the mostly single-location thriller moving through narrative turns and a suspenseful escalation of violence and stakes. The filmmaker tells Bloody Disgusting that keeping audiences on their toes was vital for him in creating this story.
“I like trying to find surprises; I do really love surprises in a story. That was paramount, like, how do we keep this interesting? How does it change? And what are the things that would make that a fun experience?...

“America doesn’t care how you get your money.” That line serves as a bleak thesis statement for “Your Lucky Day.” The feature debut from writer-director Dan Brown proceeds from the assumption that in America, nothing — not family, not integrity, not your personal safety or the safety of others — is more important than getting rich. And once you are rich, nothing else matters, including how you got that way. You can pay for lawyers to take care of all that, as sensitive stickup kid Sterling (Angus Cloud) tells his hostages early on in the film.
Sterling’s plan to get rich is, to put it bluntly, short-sighted. He’s one of a handful of people who overhear a pushy, racist...

Writer/Director Dan Brown’s feature debut, Your Lucky Day, elevates a simple concept with palpable tension and intense confrontations. A convenience store at Christmastime transforms into a harrowing battleground when a winning lotto ticket emerges, creating an intense thriller filled with surprise escalations and propulsive action. It’s not just the narrative turns and bleak authenticity that makes Your Lucky Day winsome, but the Christmas caper’s daring commitment to nihilism.
An average night becomes anything but for six strangers at a convenience store around Christmas. A criminal, Sterling (Angus Cloud), arrives at the store in a foul mood, having just lost valuables to thieves. When a wealthy man discovers he’s just won the $156 million jackpot, Sterling holds him at gunpoint. Rookie cop Cody (Sterling Beaumon) attempts to intervene but botches it so spectacularly that it winds up becoming a lethal hostage standoff that also traps the store’s owner,...

Angus Cloud is being remembered by director Daniel Brown, who cast the late “Euphoria” star in a starring role in his upcoming film “Your Lucky Day”.
Speaking with Variety, Brown pays tribute to Cloud, who plays a low-level drug dealer who finds himself a tense standoff with police after killing a lottery winner who just discovered he held a winning ticket worth $156 million, in order to take the ticket for himself.
“It’s not really even mine anymore. It’s really for him.”
“I had written the script again and shared it with my wife. While I was out of town on a shoot, she had watched all of ‘Euphoria’, and she said, ‘You know, who should be in your movie? It should be this guy, Angus Cloud,'” Brown recalled.

And I just thought he was such a sweetheart that it would be Ok, that it would work out because he was just so genuinely kind."Maybe because I am a dad, I think about directing a little bit as being a dad to your cast.

If you can’t take it with you when you go, then where does it end up?
Daniel Brown thought a lot about this before making his upcoming film “Your Lucky Day,” which tells the ironic story of a man who wins the lottery but dies shortly after finding out his numbers hit. First created as short in 2010 starring Rider Strong, the story takes place one Christmas Eve at a corner store called Sip ‘n’ Go, where a white-haired boomer-aged wealthy man wearing a tie stops to scan his lotto tickets. After making brief and somewhat bigoted small talk with the store’s owner Amir (Mousa Hussien Kraish), the machine plays a little jingle, “Winner!! Winner!!” appears on the tiny screen. “What’s the total up to?” the man asks Amir. “$156 million.”
