Awesome – I’m camping out now!
From the Canadian CBC (link provided just in case you don’t believe me):
George Lucas is tackling his first musical, a film about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first group of African-American pilots.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lucas is working on the movie Red Tails at his Skywalker Ranch in California.
Plot details for the computer-animated film are not being released, but it is known that fairies play a role.
Lucas, who has not directed a movie since Revenge of the Sith, wrote the screenplay and is executive producing.
Kevin Munroe, who created the fourth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, TMNT, is directing from a script by David Berenbaum, who wrote the children’s fantasy The Spiderwick Chronicles.
The Tuskegee Airmen flew with distinction as bomber escorts during the Second World War at a time when the U.S. services were segregated. They were known as the Red Tails.
The film stars Terence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. and rapper Method Man of Wu-Tang Clan and is scheduled for release in 2010.
Ok, maybe I could believe this after the whole Jar-Jar Binks, Midichlorians, I had all nine episodes already written BS that he’s dealt us in the past. But, fairies and the Tuskegee Airmen? Well, digging a little deeper uncovers the fact that this media giant can’t keep the rumors straight. Maybe this is the future for our media as we aim to emulate Canada’s healthcare system? Cuba Gooding and Method Man are probably going to be awesome fairies.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
