Universal Pictures have released a new character trailer for their upcoming martial arts epic The Man With Iron Fists. This trailer focuses on the martial artist known as Bronze Lion and features a fine amount of choreographed fighting.
The film is an homage to Asian chop-socky film from the very creative but probably deranged minds of Quentin Tarantino, RZA and Eli Roth. And it stars Russell Crowe, Jamie Chung and Lucy Liu.
The Man With Iron Fists hits Irish cinemas on November 16th, conveniently enough the same timeThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 hits Irish screens.
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.
