Reshoots are often something I try to look forward to seeing the silver lining of. But this one just leaves me itchy.

It seems the recent rumours of George Lucas directing the reshoots for Red Tails himself are true. He couldnt arrange for director Anthony Hemingway to return, so he stepped up to the task.

The Film Stage shares:

George Lucas was reported to be shooting reshoots for the new movie he is producing called Red Tails, which is being directed by Anthony Hemingway. His earlier credits include HBO’s The Wire. The initial reason behind this was because Lucas and producer Rick McCallum were not satisfied with the footage presented.

Now while they continue to raise an unfounded eyebrow making assumptions that Lucas didn’t even call Hemingway and wanted to get into the director’s chair for the reshoots himself.

The only thing that bothered me was that these reshoots are happening because Lucas was “not satisfied with the footage”. Because he is so well known as a discerning director? NoooooooooO! (spoken like Revenge of the Sith Annakin/Vader for irony)

Lucas is a brilliant mind, and a visionary. But he needs to let others direct his works for him.

In related news he was seen on the set of Red Tails quoted as saying “What? Like its hard?”
