Iron Fist
so my sources tell me that this movie is a go ahead. with ray park playing iron fist. theven got veteran hong kong star and real life triad michael chan wai man(you can read this old but amazing interview with him here saw it on the kungfy cinema forum and had to post it here) when i told my friend that chan wai man was the real deal in terms of fighting and that he’s is or was a real life triad he “****” himself. i don;t have a filming date yet (if they didn;t start already) but i will soon. peace guys
Thanks for the info, Doug.
It would be great to see Chan Wai-Man in a new film, seeing him in an American one will be strange but welcome.
yeah my boy is supposed to be A.D.(assistant director) on this film i’m trying to get him to get me in there. told him he should give CWM a wallet that says bad mutha ****a
Rough cut on you tube
I sure hope that it doesn’t look anything like that Rough cut on you tube…
C’mon…that cannot be serious.
I fell out the chair seeing him run around that corner.
This is obviously a d movie rip.
LOL Banditshaw I almost fell out of my chair too after seeing that clip…
I’m hoping they approach this like the Immortal Iron Fist comics. Let Danny already be Iron Fist and having been Iron Fist for YEARS.

Truth. If they do the Tournament in Heaven arc as a movie, I’ll buy only marvel comics for a year.
(That’s a lie)
That arc was GREAT!
never really got into ironfist. hmm luke cage should be in this :o
That Youtube thing was some fan film. Amuzing; somewhat.
Luke Cage is apparently due to appear in his own film with John Singelton directing and producing.
yeah and r&b crooner tyrese set to be luke cage which has gotta be th worst pic in the worl. but then again this is the same man who wants ice cube to play BA in the upcoming A-team movie. oh the horror
lol…I heard about that too Doug.
Ice cube could be ok though as Baracus. He’s one of the better actors out of the Hip Hop world.
I think Luke Cage should be played by the father in the ‘‘everybody hates chris’’ show and he was also in ‘‘balls of fury’’.
After a google his IMDB.
Terry Crews
yeah terry crews would be great, all his roles to date have been comedy so it’ll be good to see him do something else. ll cool j would be a another good pic. i’d even cast 50 cent before tyrese.

I could see a really fit Cube as Luke Cage.

Progress on Iron Fist
Marvel Forges ‘Iron Fist’ Deal With ‘xXx’ Creator Rich Wilkes
By MIKE FLEMING | Wednesday August 25, 2010 @ 2:31pm EDT
EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios is moving forward on a live action feature version of Iron Fist, hiring screenwriter Rich Wilkes to draft a movie based on a martial arts expert whose battle with a dragon–ended when he plunged his hands through the beast’s molten heart–turned his fists into indestructible weapons.
Iron Fist was on the minds of many fanboys when Disney paid $4 billion for Marvel’s 5000 superhero library and vowed to turn the less obvious comic book heroes into films and TV properties. Marvel tried to make an Iron Fist movie with Artisan nearly a decade ago, as a vehicle for X-Men villain and martial arts expert Ray Park. The Iron Fist comic book mythology was created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane in the 1970s, when the popularity of martial arts films was on the rise.
Iron Fist was among a bunch of Marvel superhero properties scattered around Hollywood. While tent poles like X-Men, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four and a handful of others remain at other studios, Marvel has recaptured rights to many wayward properties and Kevin Feige is hitting the reset button on a bunch of them. Marvel recently began work on Dr. Strange, hiring Conan scribes Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer to generate a film from a superhero property that four studios tried to crack over the years. Both Iron Fist and Dr. Strange will be distributed by Disney. Marvel Studios has four more films under the preexisting distribution deal with Paramount, and those will include Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America, and the Robert Downey Jr.-starrer Iron Man 3. The final film will likely be the Joss Whedon-directed The Avengers, though Marvel is separately working on the youth-oriented Runaways and Ant-Man.
Wilkes is best known for writing the original XXX film that launched a franchise around Vin Diesel’s extreme sports hero character. He also scripted the Motley Crue biopic The Dirt, which Paramount just put into turnaround, and he wrote Ballad of the Whiskey Robber for Johnny Depp and Graham King. Wilkes is repped by Verve.
Hope that it is modernized for the times, which means no cheesy green get up.
