Red Tails finally gets off the ground
Apr. 6th, 2009 08:14 pmWhen I first heard about Red Tails in the early '90s, I thought (like many SW fen at the time) it was some secret code name for a new SW film. When things got rolling with SW again, RT got put on the backburner until now. It finally has a cast and director and will start shooting soon:

The story of the famed Tuskegee Airmen is an interesting one (I once worked with a guy whose grandfather was a Tuskegee Airman) and if it's done right, it ought to be a pretty decent film. Personally, I worry that the subject matter might drag the film into PC-ville, but we'll see how it turns out. Rick McCallum is apparently producing so it should be f@$#$ awesome ;).
