    Martial arts movies have never been huge hits with American audiences, but it seems like they’re on the rise again. Keanu Reeves is working on one right now, and The Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA has been hard at work on The Man With The Iron Fist seemingly for years now. Co-written by Hostel director Eli Roth, this movie features some surprising cast members like Russell Crowe, Jamie Chung, Rick Yune, and more. And even though a lot of the action here looks like it comes straight out of Kill Bill: Volume 1, this project actually has the stamp of approval from Quentin Tarantino himself, who is “presenting” the movie to audiences when it opens in theaters. IGN has the brand new red-band trailer, so check it out below!

    The Man With The Iron Fist kicks down theater doors everywhere soon, but it doesn’t have an official release date quite yet.

    Synopsis: 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.
