Lucasfilm has tapped Anthony Hemingway to direct "
Red Tails," the WWII action adventure about the Tuskegee Airmen based on a story by George Lucas.
"
Red Tails" revolves around the young pilots who overcame institutional racism in the military to form the Tuskegee Airmen, the fliers who become the first African-American fighter pilots in U.S. military history. Their planes featured the red-painted tails that give the film its title.
