Synopsis:
This is the story of 1970’s action legend Black Dynamite.

If Grindhouse didn't flop, this would've been the sequel's main feature!

Troy Stiffler

Looks cool. Looks fun.

The trailer makes it look a bit less serious than the two Grindhouse movies. Hmmm. How does that come across? The Grindhouse movies were very ... referential. But, they seemed to play it straight. Black Dynamite looks like it'd be a bit more comedic. But, it's always hard to tell from trailers.

From what I can see, nobody picked it up yet. I'd like to see it get at least a limited release; not just straight-to-DVD.

I Google'd 'black dynamite' and quite a few sites mention it. Hopefully it's just a matter of time till someone buys it up.

I remember seeing the regular trailer a few days ago. Looks like they replaced it with the redband version.

Defintely can't wait to see this one!

This movie looks like fun...and cool to see Arsenio Hall his character looks funny as hell.

Greg MacGuffin

That was unbelievable! It's like someone went inside of my brain and made exactly the kind of movie I want to see. And unlike Grindhouse, it actually looks like it was made during the 70s.

looks good, I am all for the unofficial continuation of Grindhouse.

mrhan

Awesome!

The two other clips were funny, too.

You would think that the Weinsteins would pick up some of these grindhouse homages and release them as Direct-2-DVD sequels of sort to Grindhouse, I know that Grindhouse sold well on DVD and with the Brothers Weinstein more or less owning the Grindhouse moniker they could make good bank on them like BCI is doing with the Welcome To The Grindhouse/Explotation Cinema line.

Just read this is playing at Sundance. This film has been around for a while, so nice to see it's finally coming out.

This movie looks awesome . (And it's somewhat funny that a spoof is one of the few US made movies with an actual martial artist pulling off the martial arts. (White has a nice collection of earned black belts))

This looks spec-fuckin-tacular.

That trailer is amazing.

Gotta see this in theaters

Giantrobo

Oooooh shiiiiitttt!!!

That looks AWESOME!!

The Bus

I have a feeling this will be kind of cool (like Planet Terror) but will ultimately be disappointing (like Original Gangstas). The mere fact that Tommy Davidson is involved makes me think of I'm Gonna Get You Sucka which is, last I checked, a mediocre comedy with a few memorable scenes.

stingermck

Holy shit, you had me at Michael Jai White before I even saw the trailer. Looks amazing, and had a great Dolemite/Disco Godfather feel to it.

SPiRAL

I can't wait to see this shit !

Zodiac_Speaking

I'm down. Hopefully, it comes out in Feb...black history month.

Codey

I am really looking forward to this. A 70s period piece. Yay!

It got picked up by Sony Pictures for about 2 Million. It will be released in the second half of 2009 after a big marketing campaign: http://thefilmstage.com/2009/01/19/b...p-at-sundance/

Great news that it's been picked up! But I'd almost just assume it didn't ..perhaps resulting in a quick straight to vid release. Second half of '09 is a long time away ...

The boys over at Twitch posted a quick write up. Looks very promising ...

Holy shit, I nearly stopped breathing in the 2nd half of this.

Plus, check the 1:26-1:27 mark when he stands up from his desk!

I really want to see this, but I fear a Snakes on a Plane type path for it. The internets will all go apeshit for it, but then no one will go see it.

$30m on a $2m feature would be a huge success.
