George Lucas to produce first film post Star Wars

London, Feb 28 (ANI): US director George Lucas is set to make his first film post Star Wars.

'Red Tails' is a film on the Tuskegee Airmen, who were America's first black military airmen.

The project has been in development with the director since 1990, reports The Telegraph.

The film's story has been written by Lucas, but he will not direct it as Anthony Hemingway, who has worked on gritty TV shows such as The Wire and Oz has been signed up to helm the project.

Lucas, who is one of the American film industry's most financially successful directors/producers, might be financing the project himself through LucasFilms. (ANI)
