Quentin Tarantino‘s forthcoming movie, The Man With The Iron Fists, appears to be one of the year’s first true double-threats, as this promising film and even more promising soundtrack draw closer to their respective November 2nd and October 23rd release dates. Co-writer and Wu-Tang Clan mainstay RZA, has found himself not only in the director’s chair, but also delivering the movie soundtrack. Cuts on the album will include contributions from The Black Keys, Talib Kweli, Method Man, Freddie Gibbs, Ghostface Killah, Kanye West, and many more.
“One thing I think we did that was so cool for me was we went and got some of Wu-Tang’s original songs, the masters, Sony gave them to us to you, and we took out a lot of stuff that was in it and re-orchestrated it. And then Stax also came on board to help us out and they gave me about 10 of their famous Stax cues, songs from William Bell, from Isaac Hayes, from Mable John. So we were able strip them down and re-orchestrate it. You’re going to have a great time listening to this movie as a soundtrack.” – RZA
