Wu Tang Clan’s the RZA has been cast in Todd Phillips’ upcoming 2010 comedy, “Due Date,” which started filming a few weeks back.
The rapper/actor/polymath/ genius, who also signed on to Paul Haggis’ “The Next Three Days” recently, joins stars Robert Downey Jr, Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan and Jamie Foxx.
The logline of “Due Date,” is about a high-strung father-to-be (Downey Jr.) is forced to hitch a ride with a college slacker (Galifinakis) on a road trip in order to make it to his child’s birth on time (Monaghan plays his wife). It’s unknown what role RZA will play in that mix.
We thought “The Hangover” was slightly overrated, but this a pretty great cast. But because of the crazy success of “The Hangover,” Warner Bros. has already locked in the picture for a November 5, 2010 release date. The RZA was last seen in Judd Apatow’s “Funny People,” and will be evidently scoring the picture, “Warriors Way” next.
