The Apple TV series \u201cLucky\u201d is all about a world of hidden identities and dangerous games. Miami native Anya Taylor-Joy plays \u201cLucky,\u201d who isn\u2019t so lucky after a carefully planned multimillion-dollar heist goes wrong. Now, she\u2019s on the run, and she\u2019s going to need more than a clever trick to make it out.<\/p>\n
Even the best-laid plans can go wrong, and that\u2019s exactly what happens in the new Apple TV series \u201cLucky\u201d.<\/p>\n
Anya Taylor-Joy plays a con artist hiding from the FBI and her ruthless crime boss after a multimillion-dollar heist goes sideways.<\/p>\n
Anya Taylor-Joy: \u201cI love a good con movie. I love the ones that have been smart and sexy and kind of George Clooney-ed in a beautiful way.\u201d<\/p>\n
But don\u2019t expect another glamorous heist story. This one asks the question: what happens after the con?<\/p>\n
Anya Taylor-Joy: \u201cWhat I was intrigued about in Lucky is this really shows the other side of that coin, like what is it actually like to not be able to form any real attachments, to always feel like the other shoe is going to drop, to be the bad in every situation that you find yourself in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pulling off the perfect con is fun to watch.<\/p>\n
Drew Starkey: \u201cI\u2019m such a fan of the kind of con franchise as well, that kind of \u2018Ocean\u2019s Eleven\u2019 feel.<\/p>\n
But living with it? Not so much.<\/p>\n
Her co-star Drew Starkey says this isn\u2019t all fast cars and easy money. It\u2019s also about what these choices cost.<\/p>\n
Drew Starkey: \u201cThis really shows the underbelly of it in a way, and then it shows the toll that it can take on your loved ones and people that you care about.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Anya\u2019s character is brilliant and dangerous, she is also carrying some serious baggage.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Tropper: \u201cIt was about, you know, writing something worthy of this character, making sure she\u2019s always the smartest person in the room, but also the most damaged.\u201d<\/p>\n
