Wu-Tang Vs. The Golden Phoenix (Updated Trailer)

For those hard core Wu-Tang fans out there, you probably saw the original trailer to RZA’s martial arts film Wu-Tang vs. The Golden Phoenix back in November of 2009. Unfortunately the movie was not released but instead it was decided to hold the release to be part of the celebration of RZA’s 20th year in the music business. The good news though is that the time has finally come and RZA has recently launched this new updated trailer.

Definitely taking elements from his mentor Quentin Tarantino, RZA fuses old school martial arts with the campy film of a Tarantino movie straight outta Grindhouse. More details to come on the actual release of the film as well as upcoming promotional strategies RZA has in store for the fans

RZA Inks Deal, Set To Write & Direct Film ‘The Man With The Iron Fists’

Universal Pictures has inked a deal with RZA to both finance and distribute the film, on a budget of $20 million, while RZA will will also play the lead character (“a blacksmith who forges weapons for the inhabitants of a village in feudal China… who are forced to defend themselves”) as well as the soundtrack.

The RZA: The Tao of Wu Book

The RZA, the Abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop culture’s most dynamic genius, imparts the lessons he’s learned on the journey that’s taken him from the Staten Island projects to international superstar, all along the way a devout student of knowledge in every form he’s found it—on the streets, in religion, in martial arts, in chess, in popular culture. Part chronicle of an extraordinary life and part spiritual and philosophical discourse, The Tao of Wu is a nonfiction Siddhartha for the hip-hop generation —an engaging, seeking book that will enlighten, entertain, and inspire.
The legions of Wu-Tang fans are accustomed to this heady mix—their obsession with the band’s puzzlelike lyrics and elaborate mythology has propelled the group through fifteen years of dazzling, multiplatform success. In his 2005 bestseller The Wu-Tang Manual, the RZA provided the barest glimpse of how that mythology worked. In The Tao of Wu, he takes us deep inside the complex sense of wisdom and spirituality that has been at the core of his commercial and creative success.
The book is built around major moments in the RZA’s life when he was faced with a dramatic turning point, either bad (a potential prison sentence) or good (a record deal that could pull his family out of poverty), and the lessons he took from each experience. His points of view are always surprising and provocative, and reveal a profound, genuine, and abiding wisdom—consistently tempered with humor and peppered with unique, colloquial phraseology. It is a spiritual memoir as the world has never seen before, and will never see again.
The book can be pre-ordered through the Penguin Books website for $25 USD, with an official release scheduled for October 15th, 2009.
