‘The Man With The Iron Fists’ Red Band Trailer Looks Sick…

The new redband trailer for THe Man With The Iron Fists has recently hit the internet.

This is the second trailer for the film and it’s different from the first because there’s a bunch of new footage. The new footage looks great. Actually, by this appearance, it looks as though The Man With The Iron Fists may be the best martial arts influenced that have been released in a while.

One may wonder why is there so many stars, including Russell Crowe, Pam Grier and Lucy Liu signed on to a RZA created and directed film? The question may have been answered in the trailer. RZA obviously knows what he’s doing. The new footage shows so many exciting fight scenes, some may even compete to be the best fight scenes of 2012. That will be judged when the movie is actually released, but if the trailer is any indication, then we may have ourselves a winner.

The Man with the Iron Fists is based in China, where a weapons making blacksmith from a small village, is put in the position where he must defend himself and his fellow villagers.

RZA stars in the film, he also co-wrote the screenplay along with Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel), envisioning the film as an old kung-fu classics of the past. Besides RZA, Crowe, Grier and Liu, the movie also stars Rick Yune, Cung Lee, and former wrestler David Bautista

The Man with the Iron Fists, which is presented by Quentin Tarantino, is produced by Marc Abraham, Eric Newman, and Roth.

This film is set for a November 2 release from Universal.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
