I like a bit of the gangster rap. It's like rockabilly music with an R&B soundtrack.

I love silly old martial arts movies, so I'll probably see this at some point.

you probably would have really loved the pilot they filmed to get the funds for the actual movie then

Present. My latest novella is about cannibal gangstas.

I think this looks fantastic, but I worry about Eli Roth having his hand in it. I'm not a fan of that guy's work.

thanks for posting this. shi yanming is the abbot of my temple, rza is my gongfu brother as he is a disciple of shi yanming. it's going to ROCK. he is a huge supporter of martial arts movies and culture, if you ever saw ong bak he had a lot to do with bringing it to the states as well, but this is a major move on his part and i hope kungfu movie fandom comes out to support it. there was another pilot filmed years ago for another project and maybe this will get some movement going, as well as a documentary filmed about shi yanming's return to china after his decision to stay in the us after the first ever shaolin monks tour ended.

you can see some pieces of that here:

"I live, I BURN WITH LIFE, I love, I slay, and am content."
"Here's to brother Painbrush, we drink to his Shade..."
"All Art Is Martial"- RZA

"Our basic purist premise:
ROBERT E. HOWARD, ENTIRELY ALONE, WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM ANY OTHER PERSON, CREATED THE CHARACTER CONAN OF CIMMERIA. NO OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS SHOULD BE INTRUDING THEIR WORK INTO THE VOLUMES OF HOWARD'S CONAN STORIES.
In essence, we believe that the work of any creative artist -- writer, painter, illustrator, musician, what-have-you -- is a unique expression of an artistic point of view. It should not be appropriated or altered by others without the artist's consent. No other writer has Robert E. Howard's unique point of view, and no other writer knows what Howard would have done with his character had he lived. Upon his death, his canon, the expression of his artistic vision, became fixed. Tampering with it now is desecration."
