RZA Sho'Nuff Wants Rihanna for 'Last Dragon'

I'm not sure I knew RZA was co-producing the upcoming remake of The Last Dragon. I mean, that certainly adds a little something to it, doesn't it? But the Wu Tang Clan member isn't content to just remake the film, telling MTV, "We're not gonna take it back to the '80s. We're gonna try it a few years ahead. Modern times, but a few steps ahead in the future."

Adds RZA, "We got some crazy ideas, but the main thing is still finding that glow." He's referring to the mystical element in the original Last Dragon that turned out to be (spoiler alert on a 25-year-old movie...) inner strength. One idea that's not so crazy at all is RZA's plan to put the beautiful songstress Rihanna in the film as the female lead. Why Rihanna? Well, you could look at her for a few seconds; that might clear it up. Plus, the character's a singer, so that's a natural fit. "That's the one I'm rooting for," exclaims RZA.
