A reboot of the 90s comedy film, House Party is in development from LeBron James. The acclaimed 1990 comedy film follows high schooler Christopher ‘Kid’ Harris (Christopher ‘Kid’ Reid) as he tries to sneak out to his friend Peter ‘Play’ Martin’s (Christopher ‘Play’ Martin) house party, turning into a unexpected night of music and hilarity. The film has become a cult classic since its release and launched the career of many stars, including Martin Lawrence and Tisha-Campbell Martin. House Party is also known for being a trailblazer for bringing the Black teenage experience to the screen, and went on to inspire two sequels. In 2018, it was announced that LeBron James was producing a House Party reboot with his SpringHill Entertainment partner, Maverick Carter.

Now Deadline reports that James’ House Party reboot is in development. Springhill’s James and Carter are producing a reimagining of the hit film, with Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Bumblebee) and Tosin Cole (The Cut, Doctor Who) in negotiations for the lead roles. The film is helmed by Grammy Award-winning music video director, Calmatic.

Reginald Hudlin and Warrington Hudlin are executive producing the reboot, along with Spencer Beighley and Jamal Henderson for SpringHill. Meanwhile, New Line executives Richard Brener, Josh Mack and Victoria Palmeri are overseeing production. The Emmy-nominated writing duo, Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori of FX’s Atlanta, wrote the screenplay.
