BLACK DYNAMITE Will Explode All Over A Theater Near You This Fall!!
Merrick here...
At the last Sundance festival, a blaxploitation riff called BLACK DYNAMITE got a bit of attention.
While it's been understood the film would eventually receive some form of broader theatrical release, recent machinations re: companies, acquisitions, etc. made some wonder whether such plans were still in place.
Indeed, they are...
The blaxploitation spoof bowed in Sundance's Midnight section this year and was bought by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group, which handles all domestic ancillaries for Apparition's releases.
In this case, Sony brought Apparition one of their titles to distribute theatrically.
[EDIT]
Pic will have a platform release starting on Oct. 16.
...explains Variety HERE.
NOTE that the trailer embedded below is NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK.
You can find the film's official website HERE.
Who would win in a fight between Black Dynamite and Machete?

PRONTO

Now give The Hurt Locker a proper wide release dumbasses. Seriously Summit hates female directors.
-
Hopefully this will lead to a reboot of the Spawn franchise? FINGERS CROSSED! Todd M, needs the money since he blew it all on roids baseballs.
-
I smell Oscar!
-
This looks good. Really liked the trailers.
-
Hhahaha... quiet, or you wake dem udda bitches
-
I'm looking forward to this one a lot.
-
truly!
-
Like I'm the only one! C'mon, considering what this movie's about and who's in it, as far as his "ladies of leisure" according to wikipedia!
-
......Appear very briefly in the beginning of the FIRST Universal Soldier? That's coo' how he went from bit part in that one to villain in part 3 (yeah I know it was crap, but Jai's gotta eat, right?)
-
Opening the same weekend is "Law Abiding Citizen" with Jamie Foxx & Gerard Butler. With Foxx's following, that could potentially bite into BD's target audience. I'll be checking out both flicks on opening weekend, but I'd rather them can push this back to 2010 when there isn't so much competition between other titles gunning for the same target audience.
Oh well... -
are gonna be kicking themselves for not coming up with this movie... trailer looks funny as hell!
-
Looks RAD!.. and Captain Kangaroo! I sure miss that guy. *sniff*

BEEN WAITING FOR SOO LONG THAT I DON'T CARE ANYMORE....
by carlthormark1978
I'll rent it but I sure as fuck ain't going to see this in a theatre considering that I saw the fucking trailer about a year ago. Hearing about a movie over and over gets to be tiring.
-
Very funny, gut bustingly so. Although at only 80 minutes long it does run out of steam towards the end. But there are so many laughs that you'll forgive some of its short comings.

Will reinvent the way movies are experienced Epic masterpiece mind-blowing Photo-realJaw-droppingCGI unlike anything you have seen before Like dreaming with your eyes open Revolutionary Cameron's Lawrence of ArabiaGame-changerThis generation's Stars Wars Unlike anything you have seen before Truly amazing Prepare to be blown away Breathtaking Like a highly addictive drug that had left my mind yearning for more Can't stop dreaming about it This movie had activated parts of my brain that were previously untouched by conventional, two-dimensional films
Does not look like shit

Welcome to AICN. And to those who might ask, "Then why the fuck do you come here, jackfuck?!?!", the answer is simple. I've been coming here since '98. This site used to be good. And every once in a blue moon they post something worthwhile like a Quint interview. In all honesty, if Quint ever pulled a McWeeny I'd most likely be gone. Then again the human soul is nothing if not morbid in its dedication to witnessing a trainwreck. Being able to see the train coming down the tracks towards oblivion... priceless.
-
that looks this good.

Here's a couple of more trailers and a Black Dynamite PSN:

Come on man that's pretty unfair, it ain't like it's some big blockbuster or some shit that started its advertising/promotion a year before it comes out. The trailer was out then 'cos it was being shown around festivals, at that point there was no distribution date and it's lucky it even got a cinema release. Can't really get tired of a film you heard about once a year ago, then nothing till now.
Oh and Vern reviewed this last month, said it was great, and I respect that dudes opinion, great reviewer. -
man.... i can not WAIT to see this film
-
It is actually better than the trailers would suggest. They absolutely nailed the visual style and music of the era. Can't wait to see this again.
-
I've been waiting on this to come out for what seems like forever! Ever since the first trailer I've been anticipating this. Gonna be gr8.
-
...may be about half as funny as cancer nowadays, but I'm Gonna Git You Sucka was awesome!Recognise!

I can't wait to rent this on DVD.

Damn that is a tough one but I gotta go with Black Dynamite, FTW. The man wear $100 suits people! Oct. 16th is not coming fast enough.

lex romero, YOU DON'T PUT OUT A TRAILER THAT GOOD AND MAKE PEOPL
by carlthormark1978
Don't get me wrong, the unrated trailer FUCKING KILLED but I wanted to see this last year. I'll definately rent it and might even buy if it's as good as I hope.
-
I don't mind that its taking a long time to get released, as long as its as satisfying as this trailer. Which, by the way, is rated AAARRRRRRR-RAH!
-
Here it is:

Shameless plug over. -
That was not in any of the previously released trailers. . . hilarious!!! And I bet the Captain is at a Hugh Hefner-ish get together, and is a total pimp!
-
...that's better in trailer form than as a 1.5 hour feature.
-
Saw a screening at SIFF a couple of months ago, and it completely delivered the goods.
-
The funniest movie I've seen in a long time. When it comes out. See it.
-
Anyone?
-
Oh yeah.
-
It's Black Dynamite Time! So wake yo bitches up and go reserve your seat!
-
This isn't good. Where the Wild Things Are should definitely reach the same age group as Black Dynamite (18-34). These two have been my most anticipated all year! If WTWTA doesn't get a more mature audience it won't do well. If BD doesn't get that same audience it won't do well either. On top of it, every douche that doesn't care about good movies will be seeing Saw VI the next week and neither will do well.
-
Its actually 145mm.
-
Bitch.
-
that is hillarious...
-
Night watchman at a mall for his part time job? I would watch this...think 'Observe and Report' + 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' x 'Ghost Dad' - '3 Men and a Little Lady' = Box Office GOLD.
-
carnt wait for this to come out, looks very funny.
-
Looks as awesome as those old MadTV Spoofs. Can't wait. Jive turkeys.

Dolemite not only knows Karate, he knows crazy.

Macshitty doesn't stand a chance against Black Dynamite!!!
by juansanchez

Well, at least the Dolemite parody character Bullhorn. But Byron Minns does a perfect imitation of Bullhorn.
-
Michael Jai White would have been great casting as Rhodey. He eventually becomes War Machine, but could kick your ass without the gear! I don't think Howard nor Cheadle strike me as particularly tough.
-
Fareal
You are an ass and know far less African Americans than you think you do. Stop watching TV and listening to other asses and actually meet some people. Better yet, don't. You are a moron and your post reveals it. -
Can't WAIT to see this film!
-
For 3D Man up there, a platform release is one that sees a movie released in a small amount of theatres the first weekend, (maybe 4-40), usually in big markets, then wait for word of mouth and buzz to build, releasing in a few hundred theatres the next weekend, then eventually in thousands of theatres in subsequent weekends. If all goes well. Art films do this with lots of regularity. If the movie doesn't make much the first weekend, the thousands or even the hundreds of theatres never happens.
-
God I love the trailer, the idea - but so much of this film is so insultingly lame - that even though Michael Jai White looks awesome... it comes across as a series of unrelated skits met with silence and an occassional chuckle. It's just one of the biggest disappointments I've had in years.
-
No effin way./

I'm so there for Black Dynamite.

YOU KNOW WHAT WAS MY BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN YEARS?
by bringingsexyback
Revolutionary Road. How Sam Mendes could fuck that up I don't even know.
-
Is it too late to shoot a cameo or something?
-
Sometimes husbands shouldn't direct their wives
-
Wins the Audience award in Seattle, the largest festival in the US, big hit all around the world at every festival, gets a huge response at Sundance, but I guess it must suck cause Harry says so... whatever... Captain Kangaroo!
-
It has undergone drastic cuts since Sundance. Hell, it even underwent some changes after Tribecca. If you saw the film around Sundance, I think you would surprised by how much it has changed and gotten tighter.
-
I'd love to see him playing Blade in a relaunch of the Blade franchise. He would be great.
-
relax harry im kidding.
kinda reminds me of the same comedy type movies like im gonna get you sucka and undercover brother. i'll watch -

Interview with Michael Jai White and director Scott Sanders

I know this is a shameless plug, but if you get a chance check out my interviews with Michael Jai White and director Scott Sanders right here - http://tinyurl.com/mjwssbd

Gonna be better than Avatar.

I know it isn't the done thing to agree with Harry but I saw this at MIFF a few weeks ago and I didn't like it. It tried to hard and felt like it was putting in as much stuff as it could without having a proper flow if that makes sense. Well thats how it felt to me. Even though it was a parody of those old films from the 70s it didn't have the laid back vibe that those films had. It was had an upbeat and fast and chuck as much stuff into this as we can ish vibe. It didn't click. It didn't feel right. It was more smarmy than funny for me. Before going into it I was excited. Iwanted to like. So I too was dissapointed... and now I have to do the unthinkable and agree with Harry in a talkback... gasp!

Bronze is pretty damn good at a mostly horror festival. People seem to like it everywhere. Sorry, but a few stray naysayers aren't going to keep me from seeing this. -
