RZA Directing Hurricane Katrina Crime Drama


Rapper RZA has enlisted a star-studded cast for his next film "Cut Throat City."


"Empire" star Terrence Howard, Wesley Snipes, Eiza Gonzalez, and rapper T.I. have signed on for the film, which takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana following 2005's devastating Hurricane Katrina.


The film is currently shooting in the city and centers on four friends, who turn to a local criminal to pull off a casino heist after they return to the storm-damaged city and cannot find work.


The Wu-Tang Clan star will direct the movie and score it. He will also produce the project.


Joel David Moore, Kat Graham, Rob Morgan, Denzel Whitaker, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Shameik Moore, and Isaiah Washington will also appear in the film, according to Deadline.


RZA made his directorial debut in 2012 with "The Man with the Iron Fists" and went on to helm an episode of "Iron Fist" and 2017's "Love Beats Rhymes."
