Red Tails - George Lucas gets to tell a new story

After the mega-phenomenon of Star Wars, George Lucas has often complained about being imprisoned by the series.



However, at the same time, he keeps swearing to do the smaller movies he’s always wanted to make, like THX, but never gets around to it.

Now reports are surfacing that Lucas’s new original story, Red Tails, about the Tuskegee Airmen, is finally ready for a January 20, 2012 release, and the trailer’s already hit online. 

If this story seems somewhat familiar, it is probably because the The Tuskegee Airmen was done as a cable movie in 1995 with Laurence Fishburne.
