Apparition, the new domestic distribution company run by Bob Berney and Bill Pohlad, will release Black Dynamite in theaters this fall, reports Variety.

The blaxploitation spoof bowed in Sundance's Midnight section this year and was bought by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group, which handles all domestic ancillaries for Apparition's releases.

"Dynamite" was directed and co-written by Scott Sanders and stars Michael Jai White, who also co-wrote along with co-star Byron Minns.

The movie will have a platform release starting on Oct. 16.

Well, he was in "The Dark Knight". That was pretty A grade.

That's all I've got.

This is certainly some of the best movie news I've heard in a long time. Black Dynamite is gonna kick ass! If you haven't seen the trailer yet head to the film's website. Trust me it's worth it. I just hope it has a solid release and I hope we get sequels! DYNO-MITE!

Apparition is a new distribution company. Bob Berney, who took out both My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Passion of the Christ, is one of the founders.

Well, in that case, looks like "Black Dynamite" has some true indie pedigree to it.
