'Black Dynamite' Star Pitches Cartoon Series Spin-Off

Although the vast majority or the vast majority of moviegoers probably haven't yet heard of Black Dynamite, based on he trailers alone, I'd like to see more than one go-round. And the film's star, Michael Jai White, tells Latino Review we may get exactly that. According to the site, "he told me they're planning on doing a Black Dynamite cartoon series for Cartoon Network. (I'm assuming for Adult Swim). He said one of the guys (I think Carl Jones) behind the popular series The Bookdocks is behind it." I would think that would have to depend on how well it goes in the theatrical release in a couple weeks for the blaxploitation spoof, which is also a good barometer for the new company distributing it, Apparition (in a coupling with Sony). Supposing it does pretty well, then you might see an off-shoot like the one White described. Latino Review also says director Scott Sanders has an idea for a movie sequel if all goes according to plan. That makes me wonder what that break-even point is for this movie and how much beyond that will it need to be truly successful. Look for Black Dynamite starting out in limited release on October 16th and hopefully expanding fairly quickly after that.

I've been waiting to see this film and it's almost here. Spread the word! The only way a little movie like this can get serious attention is by word of mouth.
