Rza to score & direct "Cut Throat City" film starring Wesley Snipes, Terrence Howard

[Sir Artsdradamus]

Empire star Terrence Howard, Wesley Snipes (Blade), Eiza González (Baby Driver), rapper and actor Tip “T.I.” Harris (Ant-Man), Demetrius Shipp Jr. (All Eyez on Me) and Shameik Moore (Netflix’s The Get Down) have all been tapped to star in post-Katrina heist drama, Cut Throat City, with Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA at the helm. The pic, currently filming in New Orleans, is produced by Elliott Michael Smith of Rumble Riot Pictures, Michael Mendelsohn of Patriot Pictures, William Clevinger, Kyle Tekiela, Sean Lydiard, Film Wealth, and RZA.

P.G. Cuscheri wrote the script which centers on four boyhood friends who return to New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina, to find their home decimated and prospects for work swept away. Turning to a local gangster for employment, the crew is hired to pull off a daring casino heist, right in the heart of the city.

Rounding out the cast are Joel David Moore (Avatar), Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries), Rob Morgan (Mudbound), Keean Johnson (Alita: Battle Angel), Denzel Whitaker (The Great Debaters) and Isaiah Washington (The 100).

The film was fully financed by Mendelsohn’s Union Patriot Capital Management. Jim Steele, Natalie Perrotta, and XYZ Films are executive producers, Jarod Einsohn is co-producing. XYZ is also repping international sales. RZA will also oversee the soundtrack and score for the film.

Howard is repped by CAA; T.I. by CAA and Category 5; González by CAA and Management 360; Snipes by APA; Moore and Shipp Jr. by CAA; RZA by WME.

Lol. RZAs directing career is fucking trash. Straight to video horseshit with Wesley Snipes and Azealia Banks. He should give up, hes embarrassing himself.

It'll be funny if he ends up doing a Steven Seagal movie in a few years. 'Severe Punishment' starring Steven Seagal...

rza is a hollwood D list fuck boy.

Rza is still paying his dues. He is the Hollywood equivalent of a weed carrier for now, but once he gets enough leverage, he will be on the same level in Hollywood he is in the world of hip hop.

I'm willing to give this a chance. Big fan of heist movies. Maybe it'll make for an entertaining 1,5 hrs.

I didn't know he directed another movie after The Man..., Love Beats Rhymes? Can't say I'm planning on watching that anytime soon.

[Rev Jones]

tbh the movie's premise sounds decent to me

lol at rza being a dlist fuckboy lol. this sounds like a shitty black crime movie from 2004. Charles Jones will constitute 10% of the global gross. how did he get terrence howard to cooperate? im drunk btw. after offering azaleia banks to the sleezy russel crowe as a rape sacrifice this is the best you can do? imagine being the rape sacrifice of this shit lol.

I met wesley before, that dude wants you to pay 75 dollars just to shake his hand. He ruined blade 3 by his demands and tried to get me to bend over.

Another Redbox special. N I actually enjoyed the last Blade. I know I am not in the norm on that. Peace

I was bugging for hating on this movie when I was drunk. Hope it does well. Might lead us closer to a Bobby digital movie release date
