“Get on up and check the scene, of the smoothest, baddest mother to ever hit the big screen!”
What am I referring to this time around? I’m talking about the upcoming spoof blackspolitation film called Black Dynamite, directed by Scott Sanders (Thick Thieves). Set in the early 1970s, Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White), a former CIA agent, is called back into the business when the Italian mob kills his brother, fills black orphanages with heroin, and floods the street with bad malt liquor. He soon discovers a vast conspiracy that reaches to places he would not even imagine.
The film already has been given quite some exposure, screening already at Sundance Film Festival, Los Angeles Film Festival (tonight for those of you who are in the area) and the Edinburgh Film Festival. Drawing in quite some positive reviews and generating some buzz from the stuff that’s shown purely in the trailer, once this ‘jive turkey’ is released on the big screen it will definitely draw in some crowds (including myself). Keep yourself ready for some kung-fu action, some laugh out loud comedy and some good story on December 4th (thanks for the correction Jive Turkey), with the help of ARS Nova and Columbia pictures among others, in theaters.
Check out the trailer down below:
Is this for real? Or is this a mishmash of movies that have already been laid to rest?
It’s for real all right. It’s a spoof on it, not a previously released film or anything of the sort.
The release date is now December 4.
