In case anybody hasn't seen the trailer released last week. Lucas produces a Tuskegee Airmen movie, due for release this winter.



Looks pretty slick.

That's not the first time Cuba Gooding Jr. has played one of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Looking forward to this movie. They were pretty fantastic pilots and had a sterling reputation with the bomber crews.

Maybe that'll offset the Terrence Howard suck.

Always makes me tear up a little when I see things about them and other African American Soldiers, knowing what they had to go through. Fighting not just the enemy but your own side as well, but still serving proudly and with distinction.

Wow, after reading that article I'm a little sad for Lucas. That's what happens when you have your own ranch to escape from the world though. Look what happened to that other white guy with his own fancy ranch. (Micheal Jackson is dead.)

He was also surprised to see white kids pretending to be black characters. So I guess he's never heard of Emminem?

At least he seems to be getting out of the house now that he has had a girlfriend for five years. :?
