The Man with the Iron Fist gets Russell Crowe
— Posted by

RZA has well known infatuation with movies, especially kung-fu movies, that’s been an influence on his music for over a decade. He helped score some of the most memorable tunes for Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” series and has rubbed elbow’s with some of Hollywood’s elite for years and word comes from Twitch Film that Russell Crowe will be joining Lucy Liu, Daniel Wu and Byron Mann in RZA’s directorial debut “The Man with the Iron Fist”. I like the RZA. I really really do, but so far this movie has “WTF” written all over it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Wu Tang clan and think that RZA is a very talented musician, and I know he has some experience as a music video director but I just don’t understand why Russell Crowe and co. would agree to do a movie with such an unproven director. I understand that these guys aren’t really the largest box office draws anymore but this is just plain risky. I really hope that spending time with Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth, and friends helped RZA shape an entertaining approach to the movie and hopefully the film can help turn Crowe’s career and bring him back to prominence. Can Crowe do kung-fu? Can RZA direct a good kung-fu film? Who is the man with the Iron Fist? This post was written by :
