One Spoon of Chocolate: RZA’s new flick is love, danger and action packed in a massive punch
Let’s just keep it 100 - Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA is way more than just a fire hip-hop artist. How about his filmmaking goals? Turns out his new One Spoon of Chocolate movie looks like an absolute must-watch.
Loaded with star power and especially solid acting, I’m here for this signature original film. Giddy up.
Rapper, actor, director, and record producer RZA returns to the director’s chair with his latest feature film, One Spoon of Chocolate, which will make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8, 2025.
RZA dropped the trailer for One Spoon of Chocolate today. The Tribeca Film Festival runs June 4–15, 2025, in New York City.
One Spoon of Chocolate is a collaboration between RZA Productions and Xen Diagram Media (XDM). The film stars Shameik Moore (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Dope), Paris Jackson, RJ Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Harry Goodwins (The Gentlemen), Johnell Young (Wu-Tang: An American Saga), Michael Harney (The Iron Claw), Rockmond Dunbar (9-1-1, Prison Break), E’myri Crutchfield (Dark Harvest, Fargo), Blair Underwood (Origin) and Grammy winning country star Jason Isbell (Killers Of The Flower Moon)
Set against the backdrop of a quiet Southern town, One Spoon of Chocolate follows a former military convict who, upon relocating from the city, finds love, danger, and more trouble than he ever bargained for.
