RZA Writing and Directing Fist

Over the weekend news broke, via Slash Film, that RZA is working on a new martial arts movie with Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever) called The Man with the Iron Fist. The folks over at CHUD dug a little deeper and emailed Roth, who revealed that RZA will be writing and directing the flick.

Here’s what Roth had to say:

Yes, it is true. RZA’s script is amazing. He has been studying directing with Tarantino for years. and he’s really ready to get behind the camera. His impact on rap music and hip hop culture cannot be measured, and he’s ready to add his own unique style and vision to the world of film. This movie will have everything martial arts fans could want, combined with RZA’s superb musical talent. This project has been his dream for years, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. And fans should know that yes, there will be blood… This ain’t no PG-13.

RZA’s composing credits include Kill Bill vol. 1, Ghost Dog and the TV series Afro Samurai. He recently worked with Hans Zimmer on the Vin Diesel flick Babylon A.D.
