Iron Fist Movie???

[AlexH]

Has anyone heard anything about the possibility of this movie happening? I thought I had heard they got Ray Park for the lead, but I can't seem to find anything else about it.

Here's a slice from www.comics2film.com Doesn't look like it's a done deal yet

Ray Park is making the round promoting this weekend's release of Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever. Of course, diligent genre reporters are taking the opportunity to quiz the martial arts star about the status of Marvel & Artisan's Iron Fist, a movie he's long been attached to.

 

While talking with SCI FI Wire Park said, "At the moment, [we're] just polishing up a lot of things for the -script."

 

The first draft of the screenplay was written by John Turman. New writers were brought on board when director Kirk Wong became attached. However, efforts with Wong dead-ended and it's unclear whether or not the development effort returned its focus to Turman's well-received screenplay. Currently, no director is attached.

 

"We're looking at starting. I'd like to just shoot it," the actor told SCI FI, adding that the movie will be "true to the comics.

 

"It'll be about the character's journey. In the comics his parents get killed, and he gets found in the temple, and he's been trained up by the monks," Park said to SCI FI. "He's a Westerner [who's] been trained by the monks. And he's just trained on revenge in the comic. So he goes to find these killers, his father's killer. So it's that sort of journey. There's a journey there for him. And it's sort of good and bad. Does he take the bad route and kill for revenge? Or does he be humble?"
