Ne-yo, Method Man, Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding jr in Red Tails

The diversity behind this film is great. It will showcase a broad range of personallity, once on screen will pop. 

What’s better than a historic film based on the Tuskegee Airmen…. the answer is a cast that rivals that of recent blockbusters including Dreamgirls, Stomp The Yard and the forthcoming flick ‘Fighting’.

Noted producer/talent George Lucas has put together a diverse cast for the anticipated World War II action/adventure ‘Red Tails’ that not only includes Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Ne-Yo but both Terrence Howard and Hip Hop veteran Method Man!

The trio, noted for their roles in other films including ‘Stomp The Yard’ and ‘Hustle & Flow’ will be joined by Cuba Gooding Jr., Bryan Cranston, Nate Parker, Elijah Kelly, Jesse Williams, Tristan Wilds (90210, The Wire), David Oyelowo and Lee Teregesen to name a few.

So just who exactly are the Tuskegee Airmen you may ask and why are these gentlemen on board for the film?

In the event that the Tuskegee Airmen were overlooked in your history textbook, as they often are breezed over, the group of young men from Tuskegee, Alabama became the first African American fighter pilots in the U.S. Military. In fact, their planes featured red painted tails — thus the title “Red Tails”.

According to Variety, “Red Tails” is slated to be shot in Europe this year and will likely hit theaters in mid-late 2010.

George Lucas, also known for “Star Wars,” recently conveyed excitement over the forthcoming picture:

“I’ve been wanting to do ‘Red Tails’ for 20 years, and we’ve finally got the means to showcase the skill of the Tuskegee pilots,” Lucas tells Variety. “We’re working on techniques which will give us the first true look at the aerial dogfighting of the era.”

Lucas will executive produce and finance “Red Tails” through Lucasfilm production company with Anthony Hemingway directing.

Grammy-nominated R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan is also slated to make her acting debut in the film centered around the young pilots’ struggle to overcome institutional racism in the early 1940

Now I am digging this. I have awaited the day the day that would come that someone would give us the chance to watch a music video that payed homage to Boomerang. Which I think is one of Eddie Murphy's last good films.

This is a good modern take on the film. So I am truly digging it and would not mind seeing a remake of the movie. However with a stronger plot, and some awesome actors.

Ne-Yo Aressted for Crunk driving- Just reckless!

R&B Singer was arrested Tuesday for driving in a reckless manner and without valid driving credentials. The R&B singer is known for two chart topping albums and a riff with R&B crooner R-Kelly for touring disagreement.

I guess if you don't get your money you hit Atlanta, Georgia and Drive with a lack of sense, until you can get that chip off your shoulder by the name of R-Kelly.

Who knew the singer would be out driving with no regards to those in the vicinity. Ne-Yo Real name is Shaffer Smith, is also and actor and can be seen in 2007 Hit movie Stomp the Yard.

Good luck Ne-Yo

Usher itching to release Cofessions follow up.

With rumors and hints of the album coming out for sometime now. We still have time until we get an official announcement of a release date. With Jermaine Dupri changing seats recently this does not help the situation much either. However that may be, Dupri stated that the tracks that he has produced will be "crazy". For some reason I believe him. Other Beat makers on the album includes T-pain, Dre & Vidal, Cool And Dre, and that is to mention a few.

I am sure with all of the pressure from confessions is holding him back as well. I can see Usher now, holding his head, happy to have good songs and asking himself at the same time, if they will be classic or not. Usher being the prfectionist that he is, and with competition such as Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, and Timberlake does not make for an easy release. These Guys are going hard with what they have to offer. So we will see what will happen in 2008, but I think many things are possible, and that the competition is what we need. Usher looks like someone who can keep it up, and if all else fails her can do a collaboration album with Snoop Dogg, and perhaps compete with Bow Wow and Omarion. Just a thought!

I will keep you up to date with the story as it progresses.

Thanks for stopping by.
