Black Dynamite Gets A Summer Release

There was some more news sent to us today about the Black film, Black Dynamite which was screened at the Sundance Film Festival this year. We hear that the action/comedy film looks like they will be having a summer release, moving the film up from the expected release of in the fall. Word also has it that since the screening at Sundance, the film has picked up a buzz and is expected to meet opening weekend expectations (which we have NO idea of the dollar amount because no one will speculate to us).

The film Black Dynamite is the story of 1970s African-American action legend Black Dynamite. The film description states that The Man killed his brother, pumped heroin into local orphanages, and flooded the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor. Black Dynamite was the one hero willing to fight The Man all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.

Black Dynamite stars Michael Jai White (of Spawn fame), Kym Whitley, Salli Richardson, John Salley, Miguel Nunez, Jr., Chris Spencer, Brian McKnight, Arsenio Hall, and Tommy Davidson, just to name a few.

Comedian Chris Rock Being Sued!

We just discovered that comedian and actor Chris Rock is about to be sued in civil court. It seems that it all stems from model Monica Zsibrita, the same woman who had filed a civil suit against Rock, alleging he raped her and fathered her child. After taking not one but two DNA tests, it was proven that Rock wasn’t the father, and no formal charges were ever filed on the sexual assault allegation. At that time Rock was not only facing the possibility of fathering the child, but Zsibrita also wanted to file sexual assault charges, and thanks to the tests, nothing every materialized from this allegation.

Well word has just reached us that Rock now has new problems with this woman. A Los Angeles judge has reopened the case after Zsibrita decided to slam Rock for alleged breach of contract. It seems that Rock and Zsibrita came to a secret settlement in 2000 about the baby, as Rock had feared he MIGHT have been the father. But then Rock talked about this situation on a 2004 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. Zsibrita claims that this was in violation of the confidentially agreement, which was part of the pair’s settlement. The exact comments; “Someone who was not pregnant with my child claimed to be pregnant with my child and requested large sums of money. I’m here as a free man. I didn’t do anything wrong.” No word yet on this situation, but as this story develops we will fill you in.

Comedy Jumps On Gospel Music Channel

A few weeks ago we reported that comedian Jonathan Slocumb was about to drop his new clean comedy show on BET J titled Ha! Stand-up for Clean Comedy. Well, it seems that since the BET network is now launching a gospel comedy version titled BET Gospel Comic View - A Time to Laugh, (and it will be hosted by Gospel singer Vickie Winans) it seems there is no room for the new Jonathan Slocumb show. So, this means that the show had to move, and it did to the Gospel Music Channel. The new comedy show will debut on March 7th. The new family friendly series will feature stand-up comics, sketches, and bits from the clean comedy scene. Ha! will be hosted by Slocumb, who frequently opens for Bill Cosby. So far, we hear the line-up will feature comedians Lisa Alvarado, Michael Joiner, Leighann Lord, Horace “HB” Sanders, Angel Gaines, Taylor Mason, Ron G.,and Ron Baker Jr. Ha! will debut as a special on Sat. March 7 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT and will then be seen as shorts interspersed throughout the GMC schedule.

Ghostbusters 3 Moving Closer To A Reality

After speaking with our friends and a couple of other sources we have, we hear that Dan Aykroyd confirmed that Ghostbusters 3 is moving forward as we reported several weeks ago.

Also, the Producers face another challenge of trying to get everyone back on board for the film. The original cast starred Aykroyd with Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis and Ernie Hudson.

The Film Push Changes It's Name

We just discovered more news from the Lee Daniels-directed film titled Push. It seems that the film is going to have a name change from its current title and be renamed Precious, after the film's lead character. Currently the film is trying to be distinguished from the current Dakota Fanning and Djimon Hounsou film of the same name.

As we told you a couple of weeks ago Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry will team up to help promote the film through their respective film companies, Harpo Films and 34th Street Films. The film became only the third film in Sundance Film Festival history to win the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Awards in the U.S. Dramatic Competition last month.

The film stars comedian Mo’Nique, newcomer Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz.
