STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Just a few days after the announcement of the very first official Wu-Tang Clan Day, Alamo Drafthouse -- which is being built in The Boulevard shopping center in New Dorp -- unveiled plans for The Flying Guillotine, a kung fu-inspired bar concept with Wu-Tang’s kung-fu disciple RZA.

“It’s an extreme pleasure to be partnering with Alamo Drafthouse on their Staten Island location,” said RZA. “When I first visited Alamo Drafthouse in 2004, I was blown away by the food, drink, and service that accompanied a slew of cool, genre and time-crossing films. The kung fu film selection was my favorite, and the opportunity to see these classics once again on a large screen returned me back to my youth.”

According to Alamo Drafthouse the venue will include:

An extensive menu of themed cocktails, spirits, and collaboration beers between RZA and Alamo Drafthouse beverage director Bill Norris.

A video store offering free rentals from a collection of titles, including martial arts classics.

An archive of memorabilia and posters that cover the vast span of kung fu film history.

Monthly screenings of martial arts classics with after-parties at The Flying Guillotine.

“Like Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn’s House of Wax, The Flying Guillotine is both a bar and a museum,” says Tim League, founder and CEO of Alamo Drafthouse. “Kung fu movies elevated the action genre in terms of choreography, production design, and story-telling. Without this influence, there is no Matrix and there is no Mission: Impossible as we know them today. We love this legacy and want to celebrate and share its rich history."

Alamo Drafthouse Staten Island will feature nine auditoriums with approximately 930 luxury recliners.

The theater will open in in fall 2019 when the shopping center is expected to be complete.

WU-TANG CLAN IN THE NEWS

The rap collective who hails from the Park Hill Houses in Clifton have been making news since recently signing on for its own Hulu series and launching a new lipstick line.

And, now, they even have their very own “day.”

The borough of Staten Island -- which the group affectionately refers to as “Shaolin" -- formally recognized Nov. 9 as Wu-Tang Clan Day to mark the group’s ground-breaking debut album, “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).”

To celebrate the occasion, the Clan performed its iconic “Protect Ya Neck” on Good Morning America to talk about the lasting impact of the single.

The soon-to-be released “Wu-Tang: An American Saga” -- based on RZA’s books The Wu-Tang Manual and Tao of Wu, as well the Clan’s biographical stories -- will let viewers get to know the men behind the famous rappers.

“Set in early ’90s New York at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, the show tracks the Clan’s formation, a vision of Bobby Diggs aka The RZA, who strives to unite a dozen young, black men that are torn between music and crime but eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories,” says a press release issued about the new series.

The series will be written by RZA with Alex Tse (SuperFly), say published reports.
