George Lucas says it's a project 20 years in the making, but he is putting the final touches on a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen -- the group of black pilots who played a key role in American military history.
Lucas says the "Red Tails" project has been hard to put together because "it is a very big story." He says the movie needs to be "a very small story" so he has to decide what part of the story to tell.
He says in reality, there are "like five movies to be told" -- and he has to figure out which one to do. The film will star Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding, Jr.
