For those of you not in the know, George Lucas has been hard at work lately. Not only is he very involved with The Clone Wars animated series on Cartoon Network, he is also executive producer for the upcoming film Red Tails – a film that he has been wanting to get made for years now about the first African American WWII fighter pilots.
First Showing.net posted a story recently that George Lucas is not happy with the material that Red Tails director, Anthony Hemingway, has shot thus far and that the film needs to go through major re-writes and re-shoots that would drastically affect the characters and plot. Not only that, but Lucas would have to direct these re-shoots himself! Well, Lucasfilm says this is just not true, according to an article on Digital Spy.
