You heard it here first. Unless of course DM already heard it somewhere else.
Quote:Wu Assassins
Netflix has ordered a new “character-driven crime drama with martial arts & supernatural overtones” from John Wirth. Set in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the series follows Kai Jin, a “young chef chosen to be the Wu Assassin, a ‘heroic killer’ who must not only save the world from the powerful & dangerous Wu, but also navigate the morality of his newfound calling while hiding his secret from those closest to him.” [Spoiler TV]

As the Wu Assassins correspondent, it is my job to share this.
Iko Uwais will star and be the fight choreographer in Wu Assassins.
Quote:The San Francisco-set series stars actor and fight choreographer Iko Uwais.
Netflix is handing out a 10-episode order to a new martial arts drama starring Iko Uwais. Wu Assassins will be the first original in the genre to air on the streamer.
Uwais, featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, will both star and serve as lead martial arts choreographer and stunt coordinator on the new series. He'll play Kai Jin, an aspiring chef who becomes the latest assassin in a long-running battle between good and evil. It's set in San Francisco's famous Chinatown.
Martial arts dramas are few and far between, even in the age of peak TV. AMC has already had some success in the genre with Into the Badlands.
Wu Assassins is being produced by Nomadic Pictures Entertainment alongside Flame Ventures. It's being written and executive produced by Falling Skies scribe John Wirth. Chad Oakes, Mike Frislev and Tony Krantz will also serve as executive producers.
Action director Stephen Fung will helm the first two episodes. Much of the cast has yet to be selected, but Byron Mann (Altered Carbon) is on board to star alongside Uwais.

You are lagging Wu Ass cor-pondent.
My brother Lewis Tan joined the cast. He calls me brother every time we swap emails. Yeah man, I’m in that way. Hopefully he’ll last longer than he did in Deadpool 2 & Iron Fist.

That was the roughest interview I've done so far. Iko (pronounced eee-koh, not eye-co like iko iko). As y'all know, I've been a fan of his from the very beginning (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=2121)
The interview was a phoner - a half hour call to Jakarta. The connection was rough plus I had to do it off my iPhone, which meant I had to record it off speaker because a phone-jack doesn't work with iPhones and you have to have a special app to record calls which I didn't bother to download. Iko's English is okay but limited so he had a friend help him translate, but his English wasn't much better. They would trail off into Indonesian, and with the choppy connection, it was tricky to tell sometimes. He said some Indonesian words and names that I couldn't even make out. On top of that, I was off in my interviewing - I wrote out a bunch of questions ahead of time, but I couldn't keep myself concise - I'm blaming this heat wave.
This is going to be a bitch to transcribe.
Fortunately, there's enough of a story to Iko that I think I can manage the article easily enough. I just needed a few pull quotes to give it some specialness. Netflix says they will get me some screeners of the show.
Sorry Maestro. I could not score Hammer Girl's digits off Iko. I barely got the pull quotes I needed.
