Wu-Tang frontman The RZA‘s directorial debut The Man With the Iron Fists is almost ready for the big screen, and IGN gives us our first peek at the Quentin Tarantino-produced film via their exclusive Red Band Trailer.
The martial arts epic stars RZA, Eli Roth, Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, MMA fighter Cung Le and former pro wrestler David Bautista. If you like Kung-fu flicks, you’ll definitely want to check this one out. Considering RZA’s longtime infatuation with and dedication to the martial arts films and the Chinese culture as a whole, I’m expecting great things from this one.
Check out the official synopsis, trailer and poster below.
Quentin Tarantino presents The Man With the Iron Fists, an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director and leading man, RZA—alongside a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu—tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all.
Since his arrival in China’s Jungle Village, the town’s blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans’ brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people.
Blending astonishing martial-arts sequences from some of the masters of this world with the signature vision he brings as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and as one of hip-hop’s most dominant figures of the past two decades, RZA embarks upon his most ambitious, stylized and thrilling project to date.
