Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA announced today that 36 Cinema will distribute his film “One Spoon of Chocolate.”
The film follows Shameik Moore’s character, a veteran and ex-convict seeking a fresh start in a small town. After an altercation with a gang of locals, he starts to suspect they may have something to do with the disappearance of young men in the area – including his cousin. As he digs for the truth, he finds himself the target of not only the gang, but the local sheriff’s office, whose involvement in the disappearances may be even more sinister.
“My new film, ‘RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate,’ is my fourth feature film as a director, “ says RZA. “It embodies my journey as a filmmaker, to date, mixing action, drama, thrills, and substance. The first draft started over thirteen years ago, and wasn’t completed until 2023. After two years of filmmaking, we are ready to show this film to the audience. I believe this film is best suited for theaters because theaters capture our imagination while holding our attention. At its core, ‘RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate’ is a story of a young man’s journey to better his life’s circumstances, while everything around him is shaken. All of our journeys revolve around the choices we make and how we choose to live with them. The film is both timeless and timely. Get ready for thrills, chills, and some bone-cracking action, followed by a spoonful of thought provoking substance.”
The film which also stars Paris Jackson and RJ Cyler releases in US theaters on May 1, 2026.
