RZA just released his fifth solo album Digi Snacks, a fitting title considering that music is really just snack food for him these days. With a close relationship with Quentin Tarentino and a successful big screen turn with Denzel Washington in American Gangster, RZA feels he’s studied from the best and is set to make his directorial debut with The Man with the Iron Fist.

Quentin Tarantino read the script and gave it the ready to go signal.
Eli Roth, the director of the bloody and stomach-churning Hostel, is producing the project; but RZA will be the man behind the camera.

In an interview on CHUD, Eli Roth gave the particulars..

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.

Hey, if it’s Tarantino approved, that’s half the battle, the other is casting.. love is love, but I don’t want to see members of Wu Tang doing back flips.
