Read MoreMany fans consider 2012 to be one of the best years for film in a long time. We've had great popcorn movies, huge epics, mind-melting indies and new films from some of the best filmmakers around. But every year has some stinkers and as good as 2012 has been, it's probably been equally as bad…
Read MoreAt their core, all narrative features are lies. We can will ourselves to believe we're watching superheroes save Manhattan, but we know deep down that what we're really seeing is costumed actors zipping around on wires and jumping in front of green screens. And like all great, big whoppers, the more moving parts there are,…
Read MoreFor years, George Lucas has flirted with the idea of returning to the sort of small, so-called personal movies that he toyed with at the outset of his career, before Star Wars diverted him off the path of the iconoclastic New Hollywood directors and straight onto the blockbuster highway. Set aside for a moment the…
Read MoreAccording to executive producer George Lucas, Red Tails is "as close as you'll ever get to [Star Wars] Episode VII." So it seems appropriate that seven minutes of the film have made their way online for your viewing pleasure. The action epic, over two-decades in the making, is directed by Anthony Hemingway and sports a super-impressive…
Read MoreI really love the action we've seen in the first two trailers for the George Lucas-produced, Anthony Hemingway-directed WWII film Red Tails. In both the first trailer and this new one, we see some spectacular dogfighting action. It's the sort of stuff that any student of Lucas knows has been the filmmaker's major preoccupation for…
Read MoreBreak out your best 'delayed flight' metaphors: the George Lucas-produced film Red Tails, which follows the exploits of WWII flyers the Tuskegee Airmen, is finally going to hit skies. Or screens, as it were. The date: January 20, 2012, confirming previous info from director Anthony Hemingway that the film would be released this coming January.…
Read MoreFans have been waiting to find out when we'd get to see Lucasfilm's first non-Star Wars or Indiana Jones film in two decades and today we might have our answer. Anthony Hemingway, the director of The Tuskegee Airmen film Red Tails, produced by George Lucas, just tweeted that the film will be released in January…
Read MoreOne year has passed since we heard anything about Red Tails, the first Lucasfilm movie in almost two decades without the words "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones" in the title. The World War II film about the legendary African-American pilots named The Tuskegee Airmen stars Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr., Bryan Cranston, David Oyelowo, Method…
Read MoreWe've heard a couple of rumors about Red Tails, the World War II flick about the Tuskegee Airmen produced by George Lucas and directed by Anthony Hemingway. But until now we haven't seen any photos or images. You can see a few behind the scenes shots after the break, culled from a large collection of…
Read MoreNot too long ago there was word that Red Tails, the WWII movie produced by George Lucas and directed by The Wire's Anthony Hemingway, would be undergoing extensive reshoots. At the time, the report was that Lucas and producer Rick McCallum were quite unhappy with Hemingway's material. That seemed dubious, though the idea of reshoots…
Read MoreWe haven't known very much about Red Tails, the film that George Lucas has been producing about the WWII Tuskegee Airmen. The film was shot last year and has been in post, and there hasn't been an image or a scrap of footage released to the public. The most significant info about the film comes…
Read MoreSomehow, I'm not surprised that Lucasfilms is the first major Hollywood production company (that we've heard of) to look into consumer-level DSLR digital cameras that can shoot HD video. For better or worse, George Lucas has always been a pioneer in digital filmmaking. Learning how to use these small DSLRs (at least, compared to large…
Read MoreRed Tails is one of those projects that I've never been interested in. George Lucas has been developing the film since 1989, and was originally going to direct the movie himself. He infamously put the project aside to helm the Star Wars prequels. It has now been officially announced that Anthony Hemingway (The Wire, CSI:…
