Paris Jackson and RJ Cyler join an ensemble cast in RZA’s upcoming drama ‘The Man on the Bridge,’ which has begun production in Atlanta. The film follows the journey of an ex-military convict who leaves the hustle and bustle of city life behind for a small town. However, his search for tranquility is short-lived as he encounters love, danger, and more trouble than he bargained for.
RZA, whose previous directorial ventures include ‘The Man with the Iron Fists’ and ‘Coco,’ will helm this project from his own screenplay. He is also producing the film alongside Paul Hall, with Joe Genier, Talani Diggs, and Mitchell Divine Diggs serving as executive producers.
The cast of ‘The Man on the Bridge’ boasts a talented ensemble, including RJ Cyler, Harry Goodwins, Johnell Young, Michael Harney, Rockmond Dunbar, E’myri Crutchfield, and Blair Underwood. RZA has assembled a formidable team, and with production underway, anticipation is building for this captivating drama.
RZA, a multi-faceted artist with both acting and directing credits to his name, has expressed his excitement for the project. ‘I’ve read many times how some films take seven years to make from conception to release,’ he said in a statement. ‘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.’
‘The Man on the Bridge’ marks a significant milestone in RZA’s career as a filmmaker and is sure to captivate audiences with its exploration of love, danger, and the complexities of human nature.
