It Exists! THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS 2: THE STING OF THE SCORPION Is Coming Soon!

It’s been a couple of years since actor, writer and musician RZA presented filmgoers with his latest directorial debut, the 2012 flick, Quentin Tarantino Presents: The Man With The Iron Fists. The film drew mixed reactions but also received enough attention to warrant a conversation about a hopeful sequel once rumored as The Man With The Iron Fists 2: The Sting Of The Scorpion. That was late last year, and now, Impact has broken the news confirming the existence of the aforementioned sequel shot in Thailand, and title, which sees RZA providing the script as well as reprising his role as The Blacksmith for Death Race 2 and 3 helmer Roel Reine sitting in the director’s seat. The remainder of the cast is a mixed bag of old and new faces, which include actor Dustin Nguyen and Man Of Tai Chi actor Ocean Hou, along with actors Cary Tagawa, Carl […]

The news comes just as Edwards, whose own take on the classic Toho property broke opening weekend records at the box-office since its release a week ago.

Prospects for writer and director Lowell Dean are only looking better going into the summer with news from the film festival circuit over at Cannes that independent film production and promotion platform, CineCoup, is greenlighting a sequel to the upcoming creature feature, Wolfcop. The news arrived on Monday on the last legs of the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the first film, starring Leo Fafard in the title role, which now has less than a day left to raise its stretch goals as of this writing before making its Canadian screen debut on June. Principal photography is set to begin for the sequel this Fall in time for the first film’s September release, according to CineCoup president of distribution and sales Brad Pelman. “We can’t divulge much about the storyline at this point,” he says “…only that it will be dirtier and harrier than the first one.”.

Godzilla continues to reign supreme scoring some major high marks with $103M worldwide at the box office and rising, making it the single largest opening weekend of the year. While some may have been, and continue to be doubtful of director Gareth Edwards‘ newest monster thriller reboot, in large part, all positive opinions outweigh any negative critiques that may be out there. Point in fact, our own Darren Bailey screened the film earlier this month and glossed over it in his latest review, callng it “the single greatest creature movie since Jurassic Park.” I saw it in 3D in a late night showing on Friday, and I might see it again. However, if you have not seen it yet, all signs point to it as a must-see, if not merely […]

Lee B. Golden III

Actor Gerard Butler will be putting in his time as an Eygptian desert god in Summit Entertainment’s upcoming film, Gods Of Eygpt from director Alex Proyas. But this week, we now have some particular movie news many of us probably didn’t see coming (I know I didn’t!). If things work out, then it seems Nu Image may get its production going on May 5 of next year for the production of London Has Fallen, which will follow the events of the 2012 film Olympus Has Fallen, where North Korean paratroopers invaded the White House with a hail of bullets, rocket launchers and the threat of nuclear destruction. Screendaily reports the sequel will see Butler producing, as well as reprising his role as a resurrected Secret Service Agent alongside I, Frankenstein star Aaron Eckhart who will play the U.S. President, and Morgan Freeman as the House Speaker, in addition to actresses […]

Could THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS Get A Sequel?

Lee B. Golden III

Impact Online is reporting that musician, producer, actor and director RZA‘s late 2012 comic book-hip-hop kung fu hybrid fantasy epic, The Man With The Iron Fists, may see its way to a hopeful sequel. Mike Leeder writes that despite the film’s lack of commercial success and mixed reviews, the news lends itself with much credit due to the film’s home sales on DVD, Blu-Ray and DVD. The Man With The Iron Fists took seven years to finance, with years and months spent with RZA and fellow producer Eli Roth conceptualizing the story, pitching it to various studios and turning it into a solid script until Universal Pictures finally announced its involvement in 2010. While filming, the film.underwent several hefty edits and apparently left out a lot of material prior to its Hollywood premiere in October, followed by its North American release on November 2, 2012. I particularly enjoyed The Man […]
