New trailer and poster for LucasFilm’s Red Tails

“How do you like that, Mister Hitler?” iTunes Trailers has debuted a third trailer for Anthony Hemingway’s  Red Tails , the forthcoming WWII action-drama from George Lucas’ production company LucasFilm. You may know them from such films as  Star Wars ,  Indiana Jones  and  Howard the Duck . There’s also a brand new poster for the film below. Synopsis: 1944. As the war in Europe continues to take its toll on Allied forces, the Pentagon brass has no recourse but to consider unorthodox options -- including the untried and untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are on the brink of being shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country -- and the fate of the free world. Red Tails  is released on 20 January 2012 in the U

VIDEO: 1983 Original Return Of The Jedi Trailer

It was 1983. Way before the Internet and cable TV, the only way you could get a glimpse of an upcoming blockbuster was the good old fashioned cinema trailer. I remember seeing the trailer for Return Of The Jedi for the first time back in 1982/1983. I wasn't expecting it as there was no word of a release date or when it was coming to the UK but here was the trailer in all its glory. I was more excited about this trailer than the movie that I was at the cinema to watch, probably The Secret Of Nimh.) It was at the height of my Star Wars obsession (of which has never come down) which is why for me Return Of The Jedi will always have a special place in my heart, Ewoks and all!

MUST SEE: Floppy drives duet plays Star Wars Imperial March

The Imperial March is an epic piece by John Williams. But hearing it play on a bunch of floppy drives is something else. Very clever. I am in retro heaven.  I wonder if they are double density or high density disks?  It is your density to find out.  What?

Spielberg's War Horse - New Poster

Spielberg Embarrassed of "Indiana Jones 4," Wanted Harrison Ford for "Jurassic Park"

For the 30th anniversary of " Raiders of the Lost Ark ," the film was screened in LA where Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford made an appearance and answered some questions. According to Spielberg, he originally wanted Tom Selleck to play Indiana Jones and it was "Empire Strikes Back" that made Harrison the frontrunner. Ford replied that Spielberg now only hires him for Indy films. To which the director replied: " You know who I offered 'Jurassic Park' to? This guy (pointing at Ford). Alan Grant, 'Jurassic Park,' right here. " Spielberg went on to explain that he was struggling and ended up taking on "Raiders" for the paycheck. " Before 'Raiders' I needed a job, because I’d just made '1941' and no one would hire me, except George Lucas, my friend. [laughs] So, yeah, I needed the eggs, you know? ” And when the topic switched to "Indiana Jones the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," Spielberg
