Rogue Pictures' co-presidents Andrew Karpen and Andrew Rona announced the studio has picked up the rights to the Wayans Brothers original comic book series Super Bad James Dynomite. Rogue Pictures also acquired Dynomite, the Wayans Bros action film currently in pre-production.

In a press release announcing the deal Marlon Wayans stated, "When we created the comic book Super Bad James Dynomite, I always envisioned playing the title character on the big screen.

I’m really happy that Rogue shares our excitement for such edgy comedy and to be working again with Andrew Rona, with whom we had such great fun and success on our Scary Movie franchise.”

Karpen and Rona added, “The Wayans Brothers’ style and storytelling are unique and irrepressible, and their track record with wild humor is second to none. Dynomite will be a laugh-out-loud comedy with plenty of exciting action.”

Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Rick Alvarez are producing Dynomite with Lisa Blum executive producing. Marlon and Shawn Wayans wrote the screenplay with Xavier Cook and Mitchell Marchand.

Dynomite - The Official Synopsis

Marlon Wayans will star in the title role of Super Bad James Dynomite, an ex-cop turned neighborhood hero who delivers his unique brand of justice in New York City. He is Shaft, Dolemite, and Black Belt Jones all rolled into one. Dynomite has it all…until the day he is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. When he is released from jail years later, he is still the same but the world has changed.

While regaining his cool, Dynomite vows to take down the man responsible for his incarceration – a criminal mastermind who has become the mayor of the city – and swings back into action.
