• THE MAN WITH THE IRON FIST

Following the first gory shot earlier this week, and the poster yesterday, IGN has now revealed the Red Band trailer for The Man with the Iron Fists. Check it out below!

Quentin Tarantino presents The Man with the Iron Fists, an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director and leading man, RZA-alongside a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu-tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all.

Since his arrival in China's Jungle Village, the town's blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans' brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people.

The Man with the Iron Fists doesn't yet have a release date, but check back for details as soon as they become available.

When asked what he had coming up and whether it involved Thor 2, Skarsgard offered this: "I will try to combine Thor 2 which starts in August and goes to the end of December with the new Lars Von Trier film."

Whats interesting is that Skargard states that he will be filming on Thor 2 will from August to December. Meaning he would have quite a significant role in the film. Thor 2 was said to be mostly focused on Asgard, so will Thor be taking Jane, Selvig and Darcy to Asgard with him, or will the film be split between Earth and Asgard once again?

Thor 2 reunites Chris Hemsworth with Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, and Natalie Portman as the love interest Jane Foster. Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") is stepping behind the camera for its November 15, 2013 release date.

She’s heartbroken when he dumps her for the fame and fortune of a big solo contract, leaving her all on her own.

Her world takes a turn for the better when a down-on-his-luck record producer (Ruffalo) stumbles upon her singing and is immediately captivated by her raw talent and inspiring authenticity - they may be each other’s last chance to turn their lives around.

Recruiting street musicians, amateurs, and professionals borrowed from the posse of Troublegum (Green), a hip-hop artist he discovered years ago, Dan throws himself into producing for Gretta.

Dan hopes that his new direction will repair his marriage with his estranged wife Miriam (Keener) and reclaim the respect of his daughter Violet (Steinfeld).
