“I remember his kindness and enthusiasm for others. He was one of one,” director Daniel Brown said.
Angus Cloud makes his final on-screen appearance in the teaser for Your Lucky Day. An intense trailer for the film was released on Friday (Oct. 6). The trailer hones in on the concept of the “American Dream” and what it means to make it in society. Money is the focal point of this tale as Sterling (Cloud), a drug dealer, is looking for a way to get by.
After he witnesses someone win $156 million in lottery funds at a local store, he decides to rob the man. The unnamed figure is fatally shot when a cop attempts to intervene, leaving the officer also fatally wounded.
Sterling then holds the witnesses to the crime hostage in the convenience store. The witnesses include characters Ana Marlene (Jessica Garza) and Abraham (Elliot Knight) and convenience store owner Amir (Mousa Hussein Kraish). Sterling and the hostages then work together to attempt to make it out with a portion of the jackpot.
Director Daniel Brown spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the new movie and the significance of the “American Dream.” “I read somewhere that after the Gold Rush, the American Dream, which had before been simply about freedom and a fulfilling life, changed to instant incredible wealth, and we haven’t acknowledged that,” Brown said.
Brown also spoke about how the late actor was referred to him by his wife. She fell in love with his character, Fezco, after she binge-watched HBO’s Euphoria. The director revealed he was hesitant to cast Cloud because of the similarities between his two characters. But, after getting to Angus, he “just had to go for it.” “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 says. “[Cloud’s] stories and outlook were so right on for the character, I just had to go for it.”
“As with all things Angus, what I remember was his kindness and enthusiasm for others,” Brown recalls. “He was one of one.”

Garza details one of her favorite scenes from You Lucky Day involving the late actor. She expressed it was “so easy to be present and connect.” “They are two deeply different characters who begin to understand each other. Something about him always pulled you in. Something about his eyes said so much without him having to say a word. All he had to do was look at you, and you could use what he was giving and run with it. It always felt like he was listening to every word, as if it was the first time he heard it. That is such a gift to have as his scene partner,” she said.
“He was not only an incredible actor, but he was an even better human,” she says. “He was kind and humble and thoughtful and so deeply sincere. I am so grateful and honored I had the chance to share a screen with him and [get] to know him.”
Your Lucky Day releases in theaters on Nov. 10, 2023.
