RZA-Directed ‘One Spoon Of Chocolate’ Movie to Debut at Tribeca
RZA is back in his director’s bag. The Wu-Tang Clan founder has directed a new film called One Spoon Of Chocolate and it’s set to make its debut on June 8 at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. One Spoon Of Chocolate stars Shameik Moore (DOPE, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) as a former military convict who, upon relocating from the city, finds love, danger and more trouble than he ever bargained for, according to a press release.
One Spoon Of Chocolate also stars Paris Jackson (Swarm), RJ Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Harry Goodwins (The Gentlemen), Johnell Young (Wu-Tang: An American Saga), Blair Underwood (Origin, Set It Off) and Grammy-winning country music superstar Jason Isbell.
“I’ve read many times how some films take seven years to make from conception to release. This project has been percolating since 2011 and, finally, 13 years later we’re able to bring it to production. I’ve never been so excited to start a journey as I am about this. And with the great team and cast I have beside me we are destined for a classic,” RZA said last year.
RZA first publicly referenced the filmover a decade ago, talking about the project in a 2012 interview with The New York Times. Over the years, the man also known as Bobby Digital has become an esteemed filmmaker, making his directorial debut with 2012s The Man With the Iron Fists. He would go on to helm Love Beats Rhymes (2017), which starred Azealia Banks, Jill Scott and Common; and Cutthroat City (2020), which also starred Moore, alongside Terrence Howard and T.I.
RZA is also prepping for Wu-Tang Clans’ farewell tour. The Clan is set to hit the road with Run The Jewels starting on June 6 in Baltimore. The rapper/producer spoke earlier this year about the tour, and how he began putting plans in place years ago.
“It all was part of a plan,” he said. “In the beginning, there was a five-year plan. This time, there was two five-year plans. You have to start the first plan — the documentary to get to the series — and then that’s going to build up to the first tour, New York State of Mind, with Nas. That’s going to build up to the residency — a test run, at first — and that’s going to lead to a final tour.”
