Some new photos surfaced online featuring RZA’s latest project, The Man with the Iron Fists. Eli Roth(Hostel), who co-authored the screenplay along with RZA, recently confirmed that the film is going to be more then just your average kung fu flick.

“We wanted to make a movie that showed our love for those old kung-fu movies, but we also wanted to make it modern, with hip-hop,” Roth told the LA Times. “So, you know, a guy has magic blades, that kind of thing.”  Roth also assured that the film is not only spectacle, but mentioned that it has an equally entertaining script, claiming that Tarantino would not have put his stamp on it if the script wasn’t’ up to a certain level.

RZA stars as The Man with the Iron Fists. Based in China, the film follows a weapons making blacksmith of a small village that is thrust into a position where he must defend himself and his fellow villagers

Aside from writing and directing the movie, RZA was able to get Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu and Pam Grier to co-star.

The Man With The Iron Fists opens November 2, but in the meantime scope out these new photo and watch the latest trailer here if you haven’t done so already.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
