I 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 [1] 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 decades. Seeing these encounters created as direct (if exaggerated) representations of World War II, rather than filtered through the lens of Star Wars, is pretty neat. As for the rest of the footage... well, the acting looks a bit on the uninspired side, doesn't it? I'm not sure that will even matter, because between the action and the 'against all odds' true story of the Tuskegee Airmen, Red Tails might have to really work overtime before it stalls out. MTV [2] has the new trailer and poster. Red Tails stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard,...

Paulk, Leslie Odom Jr., Michael B. Jordan, Jazmine Sullivan, Edwina Finley, Daniela Ruah and Stacie Davis.
This piece works a bit better as the hokey dialogue is cut down and we get to see more of Industrial Light and Magic’s work. I’m still not sold on the some of the third-person aerial dogfights, but the action from the cockpit Pov looks well-done. Check out the trailer and poster below via MTV.

George Lucas began developing Red Tails around 1988 and has compared it to Tucker: The Man and His Dream as “a story too good to be true”. Thomas Carter was his original choice to direct and a number of writers worked on the project until John Ridley was finally hired in 2007 to write the final screenplay and Anthony Hemingway was finally chosen to direct in 2008. In researching the film, Lucasfilm invited some of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen to Skywalker Ranch, where they were interviewed about their experiences during World War II and supposedly Lucasfilm was also given access to the original mission logbooks used by some of the pilots.
A new trailer was just released for Red Tails accompanying the already released official synopsis seen below. Judging by the trailer, the action looks fantastic and the cast is great; it features Terrence Howard, NeYo, Andre Royo, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Cuba Gooding Jr.,...

The film is set in World War II and based on the true life war adventures of the Tuskegee Airmen, and the movie looks like it's going to be awesomely epic! I love war films, and I can't wait to see this one. I think the movie will be well worth the wait.

Break 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 [1] from director Anthony Hemingway that the film would be released this coming January. Along with that release date the trailer for the film has just hit. Get a look at the war film that was many years in the making, after the break. There is not a damn subtle thing about the script, or so it seems from the dialogue we hear in this trailer. But the action looks fantastic and even with the clunky dialogue I have a feeling this one might play like gangbusters. Seems to me like you'd have to work pretty hard to make a film about these pilots that couldn't move an audience at least a little bit.

Although he didn’t actually direct the film (that credit goes to Anthony Hemingway), it is reported that executive producer George Lucas had a heavy hand in the editing process and handling reshoots for his WWII combat fighter story Red Tails. Following a group of African-American pilots the large cast includes Terrence Howard, NeYo, Andre Royo, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Cuba Gooding Jr., Bryan Cranston, Method Man, Tristan Wilds, Kevin Phillips, Rick Otto, Lee Tergesen, Elijah Kelley, Marcus T.

We now have the first trailer for the film that Industrial Light & Magic worked on. Their effects are apparent, as most of the aircraft scenes have that polish one expects from the outfit.

The last we heard about Red Tails, the new George Lucas project, dear, classy George was saying that while he wasn't directing the feature, "a black director" was. (The name Lucas failed to mention: Anthony Hemingway.) And now we've got a cast. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard will head the ensemble cast that includes a whole slew of names.
Get ready ... the rest of the cast will be filled out by: Bryan Cranston, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Tristan Wilds, Cliff Smith (aka Method Man), Kevin Phillips, Rick Otto, Lee Tergesen, Andre Royo, Ne-Yo, Elijah Kelley, Marcus T. Paulk, Leslie Odom Jr., Michael B. Jordan, Jazmine Sullivan, Edwina Findley, Daniela Ruah, and Stacie Davis.

The new George Lucas movie has just finished casting calls, and Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard will be the main leads. The movie, Red Tails, is based on what really happened when an all black aerial combat unit took to the skies in World War II. If there are as many effects in this movie as star wars, it could be epic.As I stated, the casting is finally completed, and here is a short list of the actors included: Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire), Terrence Howard (Iron Man), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Nate Parker (The Secret Life of Bees), David Oyelowo (The Last King of Scotland), Tristan Wilds (The Wire), Cliff Smith aka Method Man, Kevin Phillips, Rick Otto, Lee Tergesen, Andre Royo, Grammy award winner Ne-Yo, Elijah Kelley, Marcus T.

George Lucas' long-gestating project Red Tails, which tells the story of The Tuskegee Airmen — a group of African American pilots who flew with distinction during World War II as the 332nd Fighter Group of the Us Army Air Corps — is finally getting off the ground, as it were.
The film has completed casting and will soon begin principal photography in Europe.
"I've been wanting to do Red Tails for 20 years, and we've finally got the means to showcase the skill of the Tuskegee pilots," said Lucas.
