The Man with the Iron Fists -The Encounter - Exclusive Animated Short [HD]
If you can’t wait the two weeks to see writer/director/star RZA’s The Man with the Iron Fists, perhaps this animated prequel will suffice for now. Narrated by RZA, the short follows the Blacksmith (RZA) traveling on his path to China and shows that not all of the fighting is confined to Jungle Village. While it’s more of a compilation of concept art than actual animated film, it’s got a great feel to it (similar to Afro Samurai) and even establishes a history between the Blacksmith and one of the other characters from the feature film.
Also starring Lucy Liu, Russell Crowe, Jamie Chung, Cung Le and David Bautista, The Man with the Iron Fists opens November 2nd. Hit the jump to check out the prequel.
Here’s the new animated prequel for RZA’s The Man with the Iron Fists:
Director: RZA
Release: 11/2/2012
Studio: Universal Pictures

RZA Talks Failed Movies & Convincing The Wu-Tang Clan To Trust Him "One More Time"
'Trust Me One More Time''
RZA has been all over the press promoting the kung-fu feature film he directed, The Man With The Iron Fists, starring Lucy Lie and Russell Crowe. A topic that inevitable comes up is the state of the Wu-Tang Clan. In an interview with the New York Times, along with discussing some of his failed film attempts, Bobby Digital revealed that he is totally down for a Wu reunion, just under a certain condition.
Before The Man With With Iron Fists came to fruition, RZA had a couple of movies (Wu-Tang vs. the Golden Phoenix and film tied to his Bobby Digital In Stereo album) that have never been released due to his past arrogance.
“I thought I was the greatest thing on earth,” RZA said. “And you couldn't say that I wasn't. I wouldn't take no for an answer.”
Among the projects from that period that he says he couldn't resist was a film that he directed, starred in and paid for ($400,000) based on his superhero alter ego, Bobby Digital.
RZA said that one studio offered him about $250,000 to distribute the movie, and another $500,000, but he had his heart set on $1 million.
“At this time, I think I was more conceited,” he said as he sampled from plates of red velvet waffles, onion rings and a vegetarian Reuben sandwich. “I'm not going to take no 250, 500 grand from nobody, during this bloom of my life. I played hardball and the deal walked away.”
A second feature he directed and financed, a martial-arts movie called “Wu-Tang vs. the Golden Phoenix,” similarly languished, and both films remain unreleased.
As for a new Wu-Tang Clan album, RZA is trying to convince the other members to let him exercise total creative control over the project one more time. "I've been talking to some of the guys, like, ‘Yo, look, I would suggest that you put down everything you know, and trust me one more time'," RZA told the New York Times.
That will be tough considering members like Ghostface and Raekwon have relatively busy solo careers of their own. Keeping in mind that the last time RZA ruled like a dictator when it came to Wu-Tang music, the world was blessed with albums like WTC's Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., GZA's Liquid Swords, and more classic albums, it's at least worth considering.
The Man With The Iron Fists is in theaters November 2nd.

Wiz Khalifa, Ghostface Killah, and Boy Jones “I Go Hard”
RZA Breaks Down "The Man with the Iron Fists" Soundtrack
Producer: RZA
RZA: “Wiz’s music is in the film. He came in to editing, and I showed him where I wanted his music to be. Then, I gave him the music cue, which was already kind of a drum beat [that you could flow to], and he threw a verse on it, and he caught the spirit of what was happening inside the movie. When you see the scene, you’ll see how it fits.
“Then I was like, ‘Let’s make this a full song.’ So I think we took a Ghost verse from somewhere else and threw it on there. And then Boy Jones, that’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s son, put his verse to the track and he got on it as well.
[The movie opens with a remix of ‘Shame On A N****’ also.] Ol’ Dirty couldn’t be here to see it with me, but he’s here.”

Mable John “Your Good Thing (Is About To Come To An End)”
RZA Breaks Down "The Man with the Iron Fists" Soundtrack
Producers: Isaac Hayes and David Porter
RZA: “That’s one of those famous Stax songs that I was given to me to use for the movie, from the old days. It’s a classic that they gave me. It’s on the soundtrack, and it’s in the movie as well.”

Wu-Tang Clan “Six Directions of Boxing”
RZA Breaks Down "The Man with the Iron Fists" Soundtrack
Producer: Frank Dukes
RZA: “U-God set it off. At one point, we didn’t have Deck on it. I was like, ‘Hold on, we need Deck on here.’ He usually starts off, but he’s at the end. I’m proud of this song because, this is one of the first songs [in a while] that has this many members of Wu rapping back-to-back. And I called it ‘Six Directions of Boxing’ because every direction is covered.
“Those brothers ripped it. And for me, it’s a privilege, because it completes having the entire Wu-Tang Clan on the soundtrack. So we got the whole Wu-Tang Clan on the soundtrack, and the son of ODB [who raps on the final song on the soundtrack].”

Francis Yip “Green Is The Mountain”

RZA: “She’s incredible. This song is in the movie as well. This is a big, important song to the movie. You can feel the Asian flavor.”
Corinne Bailey Rae “Chains”
RZA Breaks Down "The Man with the Iron Fists" Soundtrack
Produced by: Steven James Brown and Corinne Bailey Rae
RZA: “That’s an original track. She’s one of the few people who had seen seventy percent of the movie at this point. We were in California working on a few songs together. And I kept having to leave the studio and go back to editing. And she kept being like, ‘What are you working on?’ So I said, ‘Come and see.’ So I invited her and her sister. And they were the first women to see the film. And they loved it.
“It was good to have a female perspective, because we didn’t think that women were going to love it like that, and women love this film, yo. And she had called me up, and said that there was a part in the film that really moved her. She said she went home and kept thinking about it, and that she wanted to write something about this particular part. So I said, ‘Go for it.’
“I sent her a music cue from where the scene starts off, and I said, ‘Just put [your song] in the same key as this cue, and it will flow.’ So she wrote it, and sent it to me, and I said we could use it because it felt great.
“And one other thing she did that was special on this particular song is she recorded it on two inch tape. And we had to mix it that way. That was a requirement. To give it that old, soul sound.”
