Black Dynamite bought by the Man (a.k.a. Sony Pictures)
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Monday, January 19, 2009

This year's Sundance Film Festival finally has its first big sale and the honor goes to Black Dynamite, the camp send-up of blacksploitation films from the 1970s. The movie had its screening late Sunday night and immediately after its screening interested parties began bidding on the distribution rights. Shortly before 6 AM, Sony had the rights locked down tight.
According to the Reporter, the studio ponied up a cool $2 million upfront to the film's makers and also agreed to a strong marketing campaign when it's time for the pic's release. Insiders report that Sony believes it may have the next cool cult hit on its hands and so feels comfortable with their investment (and the fact that the stars are signed up for a sequel.)
