RELATED: Ghostface Killah vs.The Wu-Tang Clan are one of the biggest rap groups in history, and the Wu-Tang logo, the black and yellow W, is one of the biggest logos in rap history. The series premiered in 2019 on Hulu and was renewed for a third and final season in November 2021. RZA eventually created Wu-Tang: An American Saga, a fictionalized series that tells the story of the Wu-Tang Clan’s creation. They were excited and connected, so with the snap of a finger they could have gotten the ball rolling for real.” “He didn’t think I could bring that kind of power to the table, but I’d gotten them there, all ready to rock and roll. “This bulls*** hurt my feelings because it proved to me that he’d already counted me out before I began,” Raekwon said. Raekwon admitted he had tears in his eyes after leaving RZA that day because he knew any potential deal was off the table. “’But a major motion picture produced by Leo with a top-tier director? Yeah, that they might do. “’There ain’t no way Hollywood’s biggest talent going to sign up for a Wu-Tang TV show,’” he told RZA. Still, Raekwon had his heart set on a DiCaprio-backed film. He believed that it would be around longer and that streaming was the way to go rather than traditional movie theaters. RZA argued that a TV series would be a better way to tell the Wu-Tang Clan’s story. ‘Wu-Tang: An American Saga’ is a biopic series “I could tell he wasn’t going to agree to do it, and my instincts told me why: my guess is that he was already in bed with a production company, deep into developing the scripted series for TV, even though none of us had signed off on it.” “He barely said anything and seemed to be going through the motions, nothing more,” Raekwon said. They ended up setting up another meeting that would’ve closed the deal, but RZA’s attitude began to change. I sat there with my index finger to my temple, elbow on my armrest, leaning back in the chair, staring at him.” At the end of the meeting, without emotion, he just said, ‘Okay, I’ll get back to you,’ and Leo’s people left. “He sat there, taking it in, watching to see how far I could get. “I’ve known the guy for years and seen him act all kinds of ways, and in that moment, I saw him playing a role,” he said. RZA agreed to meet with executives, but Raekwon said he looked uncomfortable from the beginning. Raekwon was excited to “blow RZA’s mind” with the news that DiCaprio was on board - not just with making the movie, but raising all the money to make it. RZA didn’t want to work with Leonardo DiCaprio for a biopic They were very interested, so we got the ball rolling, talking real numbers, with the goal of an even bigger release than Straight Outta Compton.“ “He had his production company executives reach out to me. “He was super open to the idea, and after that meal,” Raekwon continued. He talked about his production company and all the directors he thought might do a great job - and these were big names and people he’d worked with.” “Then we started talking about the possibility of a Wu-Tang movie and I told Leo I’d love to see him play a role in it, anything he wanted to do. “We had a great time, eating pizza, telling stories, laughing and s***,” he explained. In an excerpt published by Rolling Stone, the Wu-Tang Clan rapper looked back on when he met up with Leonardo DiCaprio at a pizza place in Brooklyn to discuss making a film. Raekwon released his memoir From Staircase to Stage: The Story of Raekwon and Wu-Tang Clan in November 2021. RZA | Johnny Nunez/WireImage Raekwon discussed making a Wu-Tang movie with Leonardo DiCaprio Journey isn’t about scoring points or defeating enemies, it’s about creating an emotional experience, either by yourself or with another anonymous player, one that will hopefully mean learning something about yourself and not just the game. With its minimalistic gameplay, short runtime, and simple goal of reaching a mountain in the distance, that still holds true, but a better way to think about the game might be as something more of an interactive pilgrimage. Journey has often been called more of a work of art than a game.
