Jamie Chung Speaks About RZA's 'The Man with the Iron Fist'

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

‘The Man With the Iron Fist’ starring RZA and Jamie Chung, and produced by Quentin Tarantino  is well into post production now and ComingSoon got a chance to build with Jamie Chung and asked about starring in RZA’s film.

She goes on to say that the first cut was four hours long and RZA stated he wanted to split it into two movies! However, the producers weren’t too thrilled about that idea.

She added: “They’re really excited and I have complete faith in RZA, he’s a genius when it comes to these things and he knows the genre so well. So, it’s cut down to an hour and a half. Now he’s working on the music. Everyone is stoked but it will have that cool feel like ’36th Chambers of Shaolin’ or ‘Five Deadly Venoms.’ It’s definitely a delicacy and Russell Crowe is doing some amazing things that you would never see him do in film. It’s a fun movie. I think it may come out in August.”

“The Man with the Iron Fist” follows a blacksmith (RZA) in feudal China who makes weapons for a small village. He finds himself in a dangerous position where he must defend himself and his fellow villagers.

 

 

 

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
