Seriously. A Wu-Tang movie would probably be best if it was like lord of the rings with three parts.

Make some crazy kung-fu mythology behind it on some crouching tiger, hidden dragon type shyt in two films set in Dynastic ruler Japan in the 1300s then bring it to brooklyn in the 90s in the third movie.

I 1st :dahell: at the notion. But then gave it a 2nd thought.

Let's be real (I'll get killed ) n.w.a was basically a very very successful underground rap group. They got very little radio play, and hardly any looks in mainstream media. It's a testament to their greatness that they sold what they sold under those circumstances, but they broke up before they could really become a huge success as what aftermath and death row would later become.

Wu tang clan was a international phenomenon. White kids in the burbs, Asian kids over seas, african teens in south africa, all over the world, people loved Wu tang. They created a cult like following similar to the insane clown posse but bigger. Then they dropped solo classics that also were successful. They were the biggest rap group in the world for at least the span of 10 years. (93-2003) they were synonymous with what hip hop was for that period. They were def a huge deal.

Now of course all the politics played a part plus Dre and cube dropping money to make that movie that Wu tang wouldn't drop, but they def deserve a movie.

It had would have to be a series if anything. Too many members for even a three hour movie and their stories are too vast.

With Wu, if it was biographical I think it would be best if it was mostly pre fame and then maybe up to Wu Tang Forever or something/ODB's death maybe. But mainly before and what they were doing prior in depth and then bringing them together. But like someone said you could also have 9 superheroes in a sense and make it that kind of shyt, both could be done really. If they did a Wu movie that was dope if go see if and cop no doubt...
