RZA to star in movie “Repossession Mambo”

RZA has joined the cast of the sci-fi thriller Repossession Mambo which already has a stellar cast including Jude Law, Forrest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber. Movie is being produced by the same team that worked on Jaime Foxx’s The Kingdom. Set in the near future, Repossession Mambo takes place when artificial organs can be bought on credit and revolves around a music producer (RZA) who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased. He must therefore go on the run before organ repossession agents (Law and Whitaker) catch him and "extract" his heart.

“[I love] what happens to the guy who tries to do it,” RZA told MTV in reference to the repossession agents taking the organs back. “It’s funny what happens; it’s really funny. But I don’t want to ruin it.” Repossession Mambo has finished filming in Toronto and is set for a 2009 release.
