The Man with the Iron Fists PosterAs if from nowhere, Universal Pictures have released an absolutely insane first trailer for their new movie The man with the Iron Fists.It’s produced by Quentin Tarantino with a script from Eli Roth. It has an intriguing cast which includes Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Jamie Chung, Byron Mann, Rick Yune, David Bautista and is set to blow your socks off! RZA directs and stars in the movie which I’m sure will have you open mouthed before long. No idea when it’s coming out although the trailer mentions ‘Fall’ so we’ll have to see if it’s out in the Autumn here.

The CG looks amazing with stunning set pieces and fantastic choreography. I may well be banging on about it all too much but I’m just surprised that I’ve never heard of this movie before tonight. Check it out and enjoy!

“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.”
