23 years. We finished it, financed it myself, and I figured, you know, I could get prints and ads paid for by the studios, and that they would release it. I showed it to all of them and they said ‘No. we don’t know how to market a movie like this.’ …It’s because it’s an all-black movie. There’s no major white roles in it at all. It’s one of the first all-black action pictures ever made.
Red Tails executive producer GEORGE LUCAS, on why it took more than two decades for his latest film to hit movie theatres, on The Daily Show.
For shame, Hollywood.
(via inothernews) Not surprised…go see it ppl!

I encourage everyone to go see this movie for this reason alone. If you’re complaining about Tyler Perry movies, and you’re complaining about stereotypical roles for actors of color…… this is something you can put your money behind and feel good.
How much money this film makes in theaters is something that matters, because if it bombs the studios are going to say, “I told you so…”, and that will be their justification for continuing the same pattern of behavior they’ve displayed for the last 30 years.
