In an excerpt of Raekwon’s upcoming memoir From Staircase To Stage: The Story Of Raekwon And Wu-Tang Clan published on Rolling Stone today, Raekwon detailed his efforts to produce a Wu-Tang film with DiCaprio’s help - and how RZA ultimately shut those plans down in favor of the television series concept. However, according to group member Raekwon, the group did come close thanks to an unlikely ally: Leonardo DiCaprio. Although biographical films about hip-hop pioneers have become a hot commodity in recent years - just see Straight Outta Compton, Roxanne, Roxanne, and Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B for proof - one group that has yet to see its story adapted to the big screen is Wu-Tang Clan, which instead has been recounting its origin in the Hulu original series Wu-Tang: An American Saga.
