I just read that Lucas himself is writing the script... after Jar Jar and the last Indiana Jones movie, I think he could screw up a wet dream.

He doesn't need to write the script, he is far better researching it.

Written by George Lucas.

Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr, Terrence Howard, Method Man (wtf? lol).

Coincidentally, this will be the second time Terrence Howard has played a member of the 332nd. He played a 332nd pilot in the movie Hart's War.

And the second time for Cuba Gooding Jr as well... Of course playing in The Tuskegee Airmen.


And anything that has George Lucas in it.. expect awesome sfx.

We'll see, it'll depend on much Lucas is back seat directing...he's a great producer, and an okay writer but is terrible when it comes to screenplays, and awful at directing

It could end up a CGI soaked kiddie fest with german pilots stepping in crap while saying "Mesa gonna fly the 109..then BOOM! The mustangs are gonna do terrible...TERRRIBLE things to me...Mesa gettin' very very scared!"

I highly suspect it will be full of false bravado, chest thumping, and Cuba Gooding making large ostentatious face grimaces.

Anthony Hemingway is listed as the director.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0376006/#Director

He has done a few different episodes of some decent shows... True Blood, Battlestar Galactica  :rock, and has some decent Assistant Director credits. This is his first major projector credited as the Director.

I highly suspect it will be full of false bravado, chest thumping, and Cuba Gooding making large ostentatious face grimaces.

Probably right. But still... a film with WWII aviation in it. I'm in. Who else has fast forwarded through Pearl Harbor just to watch the P40 vs Zero scenes? I don't care if they weren't ultra realistic. Still cool to watch.

Only if cartoony and obvious CGI counts as "awesome sfx."
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I was expecting more…. The air scenes in the trailer look like Saturday morning cartoons.
