Jamie Chung in SuckerPunch

ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Jamie Chung on theset of 7500, coming next August, and they asked her about starring in RZA's TheMan with the Iron Fists.

"The original cut was four hours long and RZA was like,'Let's turn it into two movies! [Producer] Eli [Roth] was like, 'Eh...'"she said about the project.

She added: "They're really excited and I have completefaith in RZA, he's a genius when it comes to these things and he knows thegenre so well. So, it's cut down to an hour and a half. Now he's working on themusic. Everyone is stoked but it will have that cool feel like '36th Chamber ofShaolin' or 'Five Deadly Venoms.' It's definitely a delicacy and Russell Croweis doing some amazing things that you would never see him do in film. It's afun movie. I think it may come out in August."

Quentin Tarantino also produced the film, which centers on ablacksmith (RZA) in feudal China who makes weapons for a small village. He isput in the position where he must defend himself and his fellow villagers. LucyLiu and Pam Grier also star.
