George Lucas Done With Blockbusters
George Lucas says he’s “retiring” as producer of blockbusters to make more personal films. Lucas was upset over the snubbing by some distributors of his most recent release, “Red Tails,” a biopic about the Tuskegee Airmen featuring an all-black cast. Lucas said executives from one Hollywood studio even declined to attend the screening of “Red Tails” which he financed, produced and distributed himself. 20th Century Fox agreed to domestic distribution but declined to pay any of the costs. Except for one final “Indiana Jones” movie he’s contractually obligated to make, Lucas said he’s finished making big Hollywood productions and will concentrate on movies smaller in scale and personal in subject matter.
