Michael Jai White: ‘Expect BLACK DYNAMITE 2 Announcement In Early 2018 And Much More’

The continued appreciation and sequel hopes for films like Blood And Bone, Ernie Barbarash’s Falcon Rising and White’s Never Back Down: No Surrender, remain unwaning, and the same especially goes for the instant favorite, Black Dynamite, Scott Sanders’s 2009 homage to blaxploitation from Destination Films and Apparition. Whatever the case may have been or will be, if any sequels will arise then it’s best to follow the word of individuals close to the material, and as it stands, none other than White himself was the man to go to in a recent interview at The Action Elite while promoting Cops And Robbers.

Lee B. Golden III

Lately I’m taking on a lot more things between writing for the site and obligations outside of my enthusiasm for film, so unfortunately I haven’t been able to feature as many interviews as I have and found myself trying to compensate by talking directly to filmmakers and stunt professionals to gain personal insight, and particularly for possible quotes as well.

In this case, I have Taressa Dominguez from Baumgarten Management & Production, and CEO of SC Films International, Mike Selby to thank for helping me get in touch with the ever-busy martial artist, actor and filmmaker Michael Jai White, star of such series and films as Metal Hurlant Chronicles, Spawn, Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing and Mortal […]
