SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2009 SECTION 1 CHICAGO TRIBUNE 23 'Black Dynamite' creators thrive in formula unexpected thing for us for me, at least. I haven't been anywhere, hardly, in my life, and then all of a sudden I'm going to the Czech Republic and watching this film with 1 ,300 people, and they're all applauding. It must be a good translation! Where do you want audiences to place this film in their heads? A Sanders: There are definitely two audiences: people who understand the references, and people who don't. Our goal is that they both enjoy it in the way that people enjoy "The Simpsons." There are references "Black Dynamite" star Michael Jai White, left, co-wrote the movie with pal Scott Sanders. Frederick m.

browngetty photo movie made. Instead of trying to sell an intangible, I did my own photo shoot. I rented some costumes, one of which is the costume I'm wearing in the (promotional) poster and in the movie. I pretty much had the scope of and the idea for the movie where it's going to start and where it's going to end and some of the story was fleshed out a little. Sanders: Mike was already going through the motions of a blaxploitation movie.

Once we got the rhythm of it, it was easier to write scenes, getting in the formula. I think it's funny because a lot of the things that people are focusing on with this movie is, "What is it? What satirical approach do you use? Is it an epic movie, or a spoof movie?" This movie might veer toward more of a satirical bent than, say, an outright spoof. QHow are audiences reacting to your version of blaxploitation? A Sanders: To the outside world, sometimes it's just a movie with black people in it. That's sort of an A Sanders: In Hollywood, you kind of start doing little things here and there. I did a commercial for Motorola I wrote a few scripts.

I wrote a pilot that was the "Pimpsicle" thing. Pimpsicle? A Sanders: It was a pilot about a frozen pimp. (Laughs.) His son finds him and de-thaws him, but his son is physically older than his father, and then they become private eyes together. (Laughs.) I amuse myself with it. And then I started J-ing, under the name Suckapunch.

It's sort of influenced me in terms of the fact that I like (films) to have a musical angle to them. I love funk stuff and being able to go through libraries of sounds. It's just an added layer to this movie that makes it even more fun. QThis film was allegedly inspired by a photograph that Michael staged, as Black Dynamite, even before there was a script. A White: I wanted to go forward and get the cally that's what we were kind of doing, and luckily it seems like that's working for the most part.

lvieratribune. mm to Gore Vidal and all kinds of things in "The Simpsons," but you can just be sitting there waiting for the "Cowa-bunga!" part to come up, and you're fine. I think rhythmi By Lauren Viera TRIBUNE REPORTER Blaxploitation is one of the few genres that actually thrives on being formulaic. According to actor Michael Jai White, who stars in "Black Dynamite," which plays like a blaxploitation homage of sorts, there's an unwritten checklist of what to include. "You have to have this ridiculous conspiracy," White says.

"Most of those movies survived on that. You have the obligatory chase scene. White people must be depicted poolside. You have to have this ridiculous body count and no cops in sight. You just shoot people in the street, and I guess they just disappear or something; you just don't deal with it." Finally he says, "You have to have this corruption that leads all the way to the top." In blaxploitation speak, the top is the Honky House.

If White's right, then "Black Dynamite" should be in like Flynn. White stars as the titular character, a man whose job is vague (another point on that checklist), but whose mission is clear: Unravel the conspiracy, avenge evil Whitey and seduce some ladies in the process. With a shoestring budget, a soul and funk soundtrack and Afros so big they scratch the roofs of the hoopty rides they're crammed into, "Black Dynamite" is so convincingly rooted in the blaxploitation era, some critics have mistaken it for a remake of a film 30 years its senior. To set the naysayers straight, we sat down with White and longtime friend director Scott Sanders, who are each also credited as co-writers. QYou two first met while working together on 1998's "Thick as Thieves." Michael's been in several films since then.
