Also being released today is Red Tails, an action-adventure film directed by Anthony Hemingway from a screenplay written by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder. The film, set during World War II, is an account of the Tuskegee 332nd Fighter Group, an aerial combat unit consisting solely of African American servicemen sent to fight for their country and the fate of the free world. Deployed in North Africa and Italy to provide security on bombing runs, the squadron was home to some of the best fighter pilots in the US Army Air Corps. The 332nd flew more than 15,000 sorties, completing over 1,500 missions during the war and never lost an escorted bomber to enemy fighters. No other escort unit could claim such a record.When the war ended, the Tuskegee Airmen returned home with 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, Legions of Merit and the Red Star of Yugoslavia. The group was disbanded in May 1946, but its success has contributed to the integration of minorities into the military. The film’s title comes for the distinctive red painted tails on their P-47 Thunderbolts. George Lucas serves as the executive producer for the project, and it’s the first Lucasfilm production since Radioland Murders (1994) which is not associated with the Indiana Jones or Star Wars franchises.

Joyful Noise

Joyful Noise
January 13, 2012

Coming out in theatres this week is Joyful Noise, a movie that Bravo Design, Inc. had the opportunity to help market.

Joyful Noise (Bravo Design, Inc.)

When the small-town of Pacashau, Georgia falls on difficult times after the untimely death of its choir director, the people look to the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the annual national “Joyful Noise” choir competition, but the once melodic choir is experiencing dissonance between its two leading ladies which threatens to bring everything to a screeching halt. The newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Queen Latifah), a no-nonsense single mother of two teens, stubbornly wants to stick with the choir’s tried-and-true traditional style. While the late director’s widow, G.G. Sparrow (Dolly Parton), believes that a more contemporary sound would be more successful for the competitive choir. Further complicating matters is the arrival of G.G.’s grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan) who has an interest in Vi Rose’s daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer). Sparks between the two cause even more disharmony between G.G. and Vi Rose.

With budget problems looming overhead that threaten to shutdown the choir altogether, the town needs inspiration more than ever. If G.G. and Vi Rose can put their differences aside for the good of their town, they and their choir, may make the most joyous noise of all.

Rating: PG-13
Genre: Music, Comedy
Runtime: 1 hrs. 58 min.
Starring: Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton

On November 26 and November 28, Angelina stopped by the office to meet with the team to talk about the movie and the promotional material Bravo Design Inc. would create to be given out to members of the press at screenings. She reviewed the mock-ups we created and helped guide the process in sharing the vision she had for telling this incredible story. Very few people can juggle the responsibilities she does with such grace, intelligence and modesty. We were thrilled to work with her and left with a deep level of respect for her by the time our work together was completed. Set for a limited release beginning December 23, the film has already received the Golden Globe nod for “Best Foreign Film.”
