George Lucas speaks on the fact that it was hard to get "Red Tails" made. Its a shame in 2011 that we're still dealing with the problem of "Black History" being segregated when its really American history.
A $58 million "black film," as Lucas calls Red Tails, may not be as risky as studio executives think, considering the success of movies such as last summer's The Help, which has grossed more than $200 million worldwide, says Josh Dickey, film editor at Variety.
"Race issues in a film today tend to be secondary to simply having a good story and telling it well," he says. "Red Tails has a built-in level of appeal to anyone fascinated by World War II movies. And we've already seen that Lucas has a way with aerial battle scenes from Star Wars."
