Lucas to make WWII Air Movie

Haven't we had enough "group of black guys overcome The Man and prove themselves" movies in the last 10 years?  I find it highly improbable that this film will be superior to "Glory" despite being a more recent war--and it has no chance if Lucas directs.

So many compelling stories that could be told.   Hollywood just seems stuck on remakes.


I always wanted a Flying Tigers movie done by Spielberg. Or a PT boat movie with Borat.

Well, the HBO movie "Tuskegee Airmen" really, really stunk.  I guess there's only so much you can do, acting from a "cockpit," but they really did a poor job with it.

Hopefully, this will actually be a real movie.

I don't see what the big deal about them choosing this topic is, anyway...  If they make it well, maybe more black kids in school will take an interest in history...  This certainly is one of their moments in US history they can really be proud of, and one that so far has gotten a C-List movie status...  I think it's a good one to remake.

Even if you have a problem with it, for whatever reason, think of it this way: Mustangs :cool:

(Also, if it makes enough money it could spur more aircraft movies, so I feel we all have to go and at least pay for it, even if we don't all sit through it).

theres a couple of Len Deighton books that would probably make pretty good movies "Goodbye Mickey Mouse" and "Bomber".
