Wow Red-Tails is finally coming to the big screen? If what I read in previous posts is right then, good job lucas, it only took you 23 years! So with george's involvement does that mean Red-Tails will have a huge action figure and vehicle toy line? Will I be able to buy Red-Tails towels, underwear, toothbrushes,bed sheets, cereal and toasters as well?
Seriously though, I'd like to read or watch the reaction from the real Tuskegee airmen once they have seen the film. Not sure how many are still alive.
except for coffee table books and other stuff, won't be merchandising. whats more likely - and worse - is we'll get more 'interviews' with lucas going out of his way to differentiate himself by saying 'see - look, this movie is coming striaght from the heart, its not about the money' and more pathetic straw-man nonsense about how 'hollywood would never do this, hollywood would try to exploit this for profit'.
but if this thing cost $58 million, maybe there will be merchandise - or TPM 3D will make up any shortfalls.
as far as the real Tuskegee airmen - im sure they will like it since the movie appears to be nothing more than a tribute to all their accomplishments. But i'll laugh if they complain that the movie has a lot of action but not much of a story - or if it turns out all the characters and events are fictionalized.
BTW Hoth, I noticed you did not call him 'Luca$' (I still remember when the TFN moderators threaten to shut down the basher sanctuary unless we stopped calling him that.) - are you becoming a kinder, gentler hoth-nudist for 2012? ;P
LOL! Ooops! Forgot the $! Yep to me he's still Luca$! I also remember the douchecookie-mods at TFN. Havent been there in years and not planning anytime soon. So Luca$ is going on "the daily show" eh? I would love for jon stewart to ask him 'how many special editions does he plan for this one!"
