New Kung Fu movie, starring Ray Park of Star Wars Episode I....
This is hot from Ain't-it-cool.com
>>>* Ray Park (EPISODE I, X-MEN) will play the title role in Artisan's IRON FIST, based on the Marvel Comics character. It's about a Westerner who was raised in a secret temple and can channel his lifeforce into his fist which can strike with the force of an iron. He returns to the United States to seek revenge for the murder of his parents. John Turman (FREEDOM) will write the screenplay.
Ray Park+Iron Fist= A treat for comic book fanboys.
I know many a comic book medium lovers have been waiting anxiously for a movie like this to happen, especially with a martial arts expert like Park heading it up. Will it have a awesome dialouge, raising great poignant moments of pithy and emotion? I don't think so. Will it maybe show his training in K'un L'un and his acquirement of the "iron fist"? Hopefully. To me, the people at marvel chose to do an Iron Fist movie, because they have less risk from a multitude of screaming fanatics who might critize the film for "bad characterization," like "Blade."
P.S. Exactly what type of Kung Fu does Ray Park do? I heard once he was able to defend himself against a group of 20 before.
