‘One Spoon of Chocolate’ Trailer Reveals Quentin Tarantino Will Present RZA’s Action Thriller

by

Quentin Tarantino, the acclaimed director known for films like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Django Unchained, is now helping to release a thrilling new revenge action movie in U.S. theaters. Tarantino, a long-time fan of action films, is supporting a filmmaker he’s mentored – a member of the Wu-Tang Clan – in bringing this exciting project to audiences.

RZA, the acclaimed musician who composed the music for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films, has also been acting since the 1990s. He made his directing debut in 2012 with the martial arts-inspired The Man with the Iron Fists. Now, RZA is combining his talents in music and filmmaking for a new movie, One Spoon of Chocolate. This satirical action thriller tells the story of a former soldier wrongly convicted of a crime, who, after getting out of prison, finds love and unexpected trouble in a quiet town.

RZA is starting a new film distribution company called 36 Cinema Distribution, and its first release will be One Spoon of Chocolate. Variance Films will distribute the movie in the U.S. starting May 1, 2026. Quentin Tarantino is presenting the film, and it will be shown on 35mm film at certain theaters, including a two-week engagement at the Vista Theatre in Los Angeles (according to Deadline).

Quentin Tarantino praised RZA’s film, calling it a raw and exciting throwback. He said the movie consistently energizes audiences at screenings, and warned viewers they won’t be able to handle its intensity – ‘you’ll be on the edge of your seat!’

RZA explains that his film, One Spoon of Chocolate, represents everything he’s learned as a director, blending action, drama, and meaningful storytelling. He began writing the first version over thirteen years ago, finally finishing it in 2023. After two years of production, he and his team are excited to share it with viewers.

This movie really comes to life on the big screen, fully capturing your attention and imagination. At its heart, RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate is about a young man trying to improve his life amidst chaos. It reminds us that our choices define who we are and how we live. The film feels both classic and relevant to today’s world. Expect plenty of exciting action and suspense, along with some genuinely thought-provoking moments.

I recently checked out RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate, and it’s a compelling story. It centers around Unique, played by Shameik Moore – you might recognize him from Dope or as the voice of Miles Morales in the Spider-Verse movies. He’s a vet and ex-con trying to rebuild his life in a quiet town, but things quickly get complicated. After a run-in with some local guys, he starts to wonder if they’re connected to a string of disappearances, and it hits close to home when his cousin goes missing too. It’s a really gripping setup!

While investigating a mystery, Unique quickly becomes a target – not just for a dangerous gang, but also for the local sheriff’s department, who may be involved in the disappearances in a much darker way than he imagined. Determined to take control of the situation, Unique and his friends, Paris Jackson and RJ Cyler, decide to fight back in this exciting, action-packed thriller with a sharp sense of humor, directed by the creative mind behind the Wu-Tang Clan.
