Com excelência, a Warner liberou o primeiro trailer oficial do filme A Cor Púrpura. A produção é uma nova adaptação do musical da Broadway.

O elenco do filme conta com a cantora Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, Colman Domingo, Halle Bailey, Aunjanue Ellis e os cantores H.E.R. e Jon Batiste. A direção fica com Blitz the Ambassador e a equipe de produtores conta com Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders e Quincy Jones.

Tanto o musical da Broadway como o filme são baseados no livro homônimo de Alice Walker, onde a escritora conta a história de dificuldades de famílias afro-americanas na Geórgia durante o século XX. A versão musical estreou em 2005 e foi indicada a 11 prêmios Tony.

Vale ressaltar que A Cor Púrpura já tinha virado filme em 1985, com direção de Spielberg.

Nos EUA, o filme estreia no dia 25 de dezembro, no Brasil a produção ainda não tem data de estreia.

“The Color Purple.” I guess we all know by now that Ghanaian rapper and filmmaker @blitzambassador will be directing a musical adaptation of American writer Alice Walker’s Pulitzer award winning novel “The Color Purple.” The film will be co-produced by Oprah Winfrey who was an actress in the drama adaptation of the same novel by Steven Spielberg in 1985, Quincy Jones, Scott Sanders and Steven Spielberg. After the release of the film the color purple won’t just be a color for us but a sign of excellence, hard work and growth. 📷: Nana Osei - 2020 #la #labadi #accra #ghana #africa #thecolorpurple #blitzambassador #film #alicewalker #oprahwinfrey #stevenspielberg #quincyjones #scottsanders #novel #dynamicafrica #everydayafrica #visiterlafrique #ashantiimmigrant #accrawedey (at Labadi Olympia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE11eJXDB7L/?igshid=jcwuc6bm6diy

Nel mio eterno girovagare per il fantastico mondo dell’internet, mi sono imbattuto per caso in un tweet di Michael Jai White dove annuncia praticamente, che entro il 2018 uscirà sequel di Black Dynamite: un film Blaxploitation / action-comedy del 2009 di cui fino non avevo visto ne sentito nulla. Una domanda mi sorge spontanea e qui partono pure i sensi di colpa: ma questo Black Dynamite, cosa…

Thoughts : Black Dynamite (2009)

Sometimes an idea can take on a life of its own, becoming much more of a reality than the creator intended.  What started as a seed planted in the mind of Michael Jai White morphed into a trailer created by himself, Byron Mimms and director Scott Sanders.  The trailer was shown to Ars Nova films, who bought the property in spite of the fact there was no script.  What was born of this process and chance became the instant cult classic film Black Dynamite. 

This film is a complete gem.  You can see the love for the property and the process in every frame of the film.  Not only is Black Dynamite’s film world deeply immersive, there is an extensive list of homage given : Kung Fu movies, Mob movies, the Naked Gun films, Serpico, Sam Peckinpah films, Enter The Dragon, Psycho, Apocalypse Now, and so much more.  The film is done deceptively well, to the point where it will more than likely melt into the spectrum of authentic blaxploitation films that predate it.

The story is a satirical blaxploitation film about the titular Black Dynamite and his journey of revenge for his murdered brother Jimmy.  As his quest unfolds, the deception and evil he faces grows deeper and more complex, leading him to face a plethora of enemies in the search for justice.

It’s the deep dive into the blaxploitation elements that really makes this film a joy to experience, as most every trope from the genre is present.  Actors intentionally let their classical training slip through their performances, showing how many actors had to play down to fit a type that would get them a job in a production.  The use of the revenge story, gratuitous nudity, drugs, church in the community versus power to the people and the war buddy backstories are all key points of the narrative.  There’s even a pimp council, full of wonderful guest appearances from Arsenio Hall, Bokeem Woodbine, Cedric Yarbrough, Obba Babatundé and more.  Nods to previous blaxploitation iconic characters are also present, key among them Black Belt Jones, Dolemite and Huggy Bear.

The soundtrack is also incredibly on point, due to the genius of Adrian Younge.  With a plethora of era-correct instruments, he creates a score and soundtrack of original work so solidly composed that it passes as old songs from the 70s upon first listen.  He even throws in a Black Dynamite stinger for good measure.

The intentionally poor production value is one of the many things that makes this film incredibly funny : bad editing, boom mics and crew in shots, forgotten or flubbed lines, contrasty color reversal film and infinite bullets are all played for laughs.  The range of humor keeps the laughs coming as well.  Actors play their performances over the top for laughs, the scene where Black Dynamite and his crew break down the conspiracy has wonderfully intelligent humor, and the physical comedy is wonderfully endearing.

The cast is wonderful, lead confidently by Michael Jai White.  For a list of people who turned in good performances, look up the cast list on iMDB, because nobody brings anything less than their A-game to the table.  What started as a passion project idea recently took its first step into the realm of franchise property, with a sequel recently being announced.  Sometimes, the best way to pitch your ideas is to show them rather than tell them.  If you don’t forget to include your passion and respect for the genre in your ventures, you’ll be just fine in making connections with other film lovers.

"At just about the hour when my father died, soon after dawn one February morning when ice coated the windows like cataracts, I banged my thumb with a hammer. Naturally I swore at the hammer, the reckless thing, and in the moment of swearing I thought of what my father would say: "If you'd try hitting the nail it would go in a whole lot faster. Don't you know your thumb's not as hard as that hammer?" We both were doing carpentry that day, but far apart. He was building cupboards at my brother's place in Oklahoma; I was at home in Indiana, putting up a wall in the basement to make a bedroom for my daughter. By the time my mother called with news of his death - the long distance wires whittling her voice until it seemed too thin to bear the weight of what she had to say - my thumb was swollen. A week or so later a white scar in the shape of a crescent moon began to show above the cuticle, and month by month it rose across the pink sky of my thumbnail. It took the better part of a year for the scar to disappear, and every time I noticed it I thought of my father." - Scott Russell Sanders (The Inheritance of Tools, 1986)
