Reuters is reporting that RZA and producer Dallas Jackson are co-producing a remake of Berry Gordy's critically-panned cult classic The Last Dragon. Few details have emerged at this point, other than that the script is currently being written by Jackson, who's previously produced I, Robot and Norbit. Also, Samuel L. Jackson will play the role of Sho'nuff, the Shogun of Harlem.

RZA hasn't mentioned anything about scoring the film, but considering that he's worked on the scores for two films (Kill Bill, Ghost Dog: Way of the Samuari), it's likely not out of the question. The big question is, who will play the titular role? The first black actor who came to mind was Nick Cannon, but I think I'd rather they spray-painted Channing Tatum brown than encourage Nick Cannon's film career.
