George Lucas’ apparent last official entry in to blockbuster Hollywood filmmaking is the upcoming film RED TAILS, which he produced. Rumours have it that he stepped in behind the scenes and took over a lot of the directing duties as well despite not being credited.
Aint It Cool News has posted one of the first reviews of the film and it doesn’t look good:
For those of you who have heard the stories of how much of RED TAILS executive producer George Lucas may or may not have directed/re-shot personally, try to put such thoughts out of your head as you attempt to watch this story of the first-ever squadron of African-American pilots to fly in combat. It’s better if you hate this film on its own merits rather than because Lucas may have pushed aside credited director Anthony Hemingway and put his hands all over this worthy story, turning it into a horribly written, trite adventure film that cares more about aerial battles than it does about telling the glorious but often heartbreaking account of the segregated Tuskegee airmen of World War II.
