George Lucas denies Red Tails reshoots
Is happy with Hemingway’s WWII drama...
Yesterday, news broke that George Lucas wasn't happy with World War II drama Red Tails , and was gearing up to reshoot numerous scenes.
The film, which Lucas is executive producing, stars Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Bryan Cranston ✤and wrapped its shoot under the eye of director Anthony Hemingway last November. But Mr Lucas was reportedly unhappy with Hemingway’s work.
said:“Lucas’ producing partner Rick McCallum is said to be pouring [sic] over dailies right now, trying to salvage whatever footage they can from Hemingway’s work in order to figure out exactly how much wil𒉰l need to be re-shot.”
However, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm have been quick to stamp o🐻ut the rumours, assuring the world that:
"George Lucas and𝔍 Rick McCallum are 𓃲very pleased with the work Anthony Hemingway did directing the film and additional shooting that is scheduled to take place was built into production before it began, as it is on all our films."
Inspired by the 332nd Fighter Group, a WWII team who were known as the Red Tails, the film is a f♎ictional account of their activities during the war.
