Joe Kraemer announced on Twitter that he will be scoring the upcoming TV series Iron Fisting. The show is created by Brian Gatewood and Alex Tanaka and follows the exploits of two mismatched buddy cops as they seek to protect Communism and comrades from the evils of Capitalism. The comedy, which is described as “being done as a fake Romanian cop show from the 1980s”, is produced by A24 and Channing Tatum’s Free Association. Gatewood and Tanaka (The Sitter) are also executive producing the project, alongside Rhys Thomas (Staten Island Summer). Iron Fisting is being produced independently and shopped to U.S. networks afterwards.
Kraemer (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Jack Reacher, The Way of the Gun) also has the documentary King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen directed by Steve Mitchell about the career of maverick filmmaker Larry Cohen coming up. The movie is expected to premiere later this year.
I can’t be the only one who thought this was a porn parody of Iron Fist at first.
Only if you thought “Jack Reacher” was one, too.
