First Images from the George Lucas-Produced WWII Film RED TAILS

by     Posted 3 years, 40 days ago

Anthony Hemingway’s World War II film, Red Tails, has managed to keep a low profile ever since it began casting back in April 2009.  While there was a report back in February that the film was undergoing massive re-shoots directed by Lucas, that report later turned out to be false.  Now, the first images from the set have come online.  For those who don’t know, Red Tails (which is being produced by George Lucas), is about the United States’ first all African-American air combat squadron, The Tuskegee Airmen.  The film stars Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Bryan Cranston (who spoke with Steve back in March about his role in the film).

These set photos focus mainly on the cameras and the set design, but what’s really impressive are the fighter planes.  You should hit the jump to check out those bad boys alone, but we’ve included all the images for your viewing pleasure after the jump.

Thanks to fgv-rental.de for the images.  They posted two articles.  Here’s the first and here’s the second.  They have a lot more than what’s below.

    Nice Camera.

    It's an ok camera. Not as good as 35mm or RED. It's only 1080p…

    Cant wait to see this film, mainly because as a SW fan, I wanna see Lucas do well and redeem himself in the public eye from his flawed prequels. For the SW fans he has redeemed himself a lot through his awesome Clone Wars series, but joe-public may not have seen them.

    Only thing putting me off this film is the subject matter, Its reminding me of the HORRIBLE mess that was Spike Lee's MIRACLE OF St ANNA. That film did nothing to show the plight of Black Soldiers in WWII, instead it mocked, pretty sure back in those days Blacks didnt act like Boys from the Hood. Nice Italian scenery though.

    GL should watch that film, and use it as a what NOT to do.

    The last 3 SW films inspires absolutely no confidence in this guys ability to tell a story or handle actors in any way at all. Im a die hard SW fan (the movie pretty much changed my life in 77) but GL has used up all his 'good will' credits, he better pull a 180 from the last pieces of dog crap he put out. Of course, its his own money so I doubt anything will change..horrible stilled acting (thanks to his 'direction') terrible dialogue, forced/contrived situations and a plot so badly written no one will care.

    I’m tickled pink that I may actually get to see George Lucas in real life. I fell in love with his work on May 25th 1977, when I saw one of his first movies on an outdoor theater in Gurnee Illinois the way “Star Wars” was meant to be seen. My uncle took a load of my cousins and friends to see this, was the best thing that could ever happen to an 8 year old boy from Wisconsin …
    Now I cant wait to see what his work in Red Tails is going to be like July 25th 2011 cant come soon enough for me. I am Joe public.. and yes I loved the prequels too, but I think the Phantom Menace was meant for a younger audience, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith were a little more dark, but made the story more complete. I still want to know more about Yoda and Obi-Wan-Kenobi … I think there is some great posibilities and story boards that could come from George’s original books

    “horrible stilled acting (thanks to his ‘direction’) terrible dialogue, forced/contrived situations and a plot so badly written no one will care.”

    You didn’t even read the article did you? Dumb bastard. Lucas neither directed or wrote this film you idiot. So if it has all of those things, you can’t pin it on Lucas.

    Now take your raped childhood BS and shut it straight up your a$$.

    GL is a genius, a spiritual leader, an incredible father, and an enlightened human being. He is so creative and talented as a writer and director.
    If I was deserted on a desert island and could have one person with me it would be GL. How interesting life would be then.
