How RZA spent ten years making ‘Wu-Tang: An American Saga'
, launching his career. Nestled in a back room, the 50-year-old architect of the Wu lounges on a couch and reminisces about reminiscing. It took four months, to crack the initial story as RZA and the Wu detailed their mistakes, trauma, and eventual triumphs to a writers’ room tasked with condensing six years into a single season of TV.
“The whole fucking room laughed,” he says in disbelief, almost laughing himself. “I said, ‘Hold on. What the fuck?’ They said, ‘Nah, man. We didn’t expect that ending of your fucking story.’ I said, ‘Y’all fucked up.’ But that’s the kind of room it is.
But even between scenes, each actor mirrors the characteristics of the Wu-Tang members they portray while in conversation. Sanders exudes RZA’s zen-like calm, Saunderson deploys a disarming charm worthy of Ghostface, and Moore definitely has Raekwon’s intimidating competitive streak. Ghostface was one of the members hellbent on not shaving the edges off his character. Next to RZA, his role is the most integral — often the most violent — in’s opening episodes. To get approval for the show, members of the Wu ran through an internal procedure to fact-check the parts of their life that make up the season. That presented its own challenges. After experiencing the process for himself, RZA needed to coach an unsure Ghostface through how it would go.
