Tosin Cole and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. are to star in a House Party reboot.
The pair have been tapped for the reimagining of the 1990 cult comedy flick, which is being helmed by music video director Calmatic in his feature filmmaking debut.
Basketball legend LeBron James and Maverick Carter will produce the film for the SpringHill Company, which was seen a high priority for the producers as they both loved the movie growing up and see a project that has franchise potential like the original â which spawned four sequels.
The original movie was directed by Reginald Hudlin and follows a high school student (Christopher Kid Reid) sneaking off to his friend s (Christopher Play Martin) house party in what turns into a wild night of antics, music and plenty of fun.
The remake will be produced by James and his partner Maverick Carter through their SpringHill Entertainment banner, with
Atlanta writers Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori penning the script. Reginald Hudlin, Warrington Hudlin, Spencer Beighley and Jamal Henderson will all serve as executive producers.
There’s currently no official release date for the upcoming
House Party remake, so fans of the original should stay tuned for more updates to come.
