Refusal

**It's been a tough week for Paramount Pictures first it's close to losing Dreamworks... Now..

The estate of Godfather author Mario Puzo has filed suit against the studio for breach of a 1992 contract and at least $1 million over revenues from the series of EA games based on the Oscar-winning film. (THR)

**George Lucas is not going to be directing "Red Tails" a Lucasfilm spokesperson told Variety columnist Anne Thompson. earlier this week...

John Ridley is writing the script...

The film will focus on the Tuskegee Airmen and racism the World War II servicemen endured.

Lucas will serve as executive producer on the project.

No-one else is attached to the flick.

I remember Lucas talking up plans for this while promoting one of the Star Wars prequels...It's gonna be hard to beat the excellent 1995 TV movie on the subject...
