RZA's Next Film: The Azealia Banks-Starring 'It Doesn't Have to Rhyme'
RZA's directorial debut, 2012's The Man With the Iron Fists, might have given you an idea of what Wu-Tang's resident abbot/scientist had in mind for a film career.
Annnd: You were wrong. Everyone was. Prepare yourself to jump from Kung-Fu Ave. over to Musical Drama Blvd. RZA's next movie is, as The Hollywood Reporter writes, "Described as being similar in tone to 8 Mile." It'll star Broke With Expensive Taste rap empress Azealia Banks as a music artist who "who enrolls in college and enters a poetry course. While the class doesn’t improve her lyrical skills, as she had hoped, it does unleash in her a passion for slam poetry." Combine Azealia's facility with bars and her knack for onscreen theatrics (hi, "212" and every Banks video since) and this seems like a guaranteed grand slam.
