We knew it. Ever since we saw the red band trailer (that means not for kiddies) for Black Dynamite we’ve been pulling for this movie. Well according to THR there’s good news from the Sundance Film Festival:
A heated overnight negotiation yielded a rare studio purchase at Sundance early Monday morning as Sony Pictures scooped up the blaxploitation movie “Black Dynamite” for an estimated $2 million.
The studio is said to see the movie as a potential franchise along the lines of “Austin Powers” or “Friday,” with a big marketing spend planned when the movie releases in the second half of the year. [source]
Congratulations and well done to everyone involved in the making of Black Dynamite. I smell a franchise with many sequels ahead. I’m going to be the first one in line for a Black Dyanmite action figure.
Dynomite!
