We haven't heard much of Rza's pet film-project but he's dropped some interesting tidbits on the film's take. Referencing one of my favorite comic book movies.
"Kung fu but not grindhouse. Something that’s modern, like Blade."
Producer Eli Roth previously talked about how much he likes the progress of the movie and it's script.
"RZA is such a creative fountain. The script is great, he’s got characters, jokes. What he does with lyrics, he does with dialogue and he’s done such a great mix: spaghetti western, kung fu, modern fighting infused with hip-hop and multiculture. He has this whole comic book universe figured out. I know he’s going to make a brilliant film."
I'm sure it's been denied that this is related to Marvel's Iron Fist but I still think it might be. First Rza's Blade comment and the fact Roth talks about having the "comic book universe" figured out. Could Iron Fist be the next installment of Marvel Entertainment's mature film line from Marvel Knights? Given a similar budget as Punisher War Zone it could end up being a cool action flick. The character is rumored to have a film in development. It's of course specultion on my part but I like the idea of a new Blade/Frank Castle Marvel character brought to the screen.
