NBA superstar LeBron James has signed up to produce a remake of the ’90s Kid ‘n Play film House Party, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Atlanta writers Stephen Glover (Donald Glover’s brother) and Jamal Olori are reportedly writing the screenplay.
“This is definitely not a reboot,” James said. “It’s an entirely new look for a classic movie. Everyone I grew up with loved House Party. To partner with this creative team to bring a new House Party to a new generation is unbelievable.”
James’ SpringHill Entertainment partner Maverick Carter hinted James might have a role in the film.
“There’s no plan for it now, but he’s a fantastic actor, and if he wants a role, Stephen will find a great role to put him in,” Carter explained.
They’re also eyeing artists to contribute to the film’s soundtrack.
“We’re trying out some ideas for musicians to be cast in and to be a part of the project,” he said.
The original House Party was released in 1990 to critical acclaim. The subsequent sequels, House Party 2 and House Party 3, followed in 1991 and 1994, respectively.

LeBron is a legend but this is gon be absolute trash. I can tell already. I think the less he has to do with the “producing” the better.
I say no to this BS but if it happens to turn out to be good and enough people convince me I’ll try to catch it while it’s in theater if it gets there and not VOD.
nope don’t do it, itll turn out like the wash, forgive me for being selfish, don’t fuckup my childhood memories
He needs to “PRODUCE” on the court… half a new team as boi!
Overrated player wasting everybody’s time
30,000 points, 5000 rebounds, 5000 assist, 3 titles, 3 finals mvp, 4 regular season Mvp’s, in the finals 7 straight years, only player ever to average triple double in finals, only player ever to lead both teams in Points, rebs, assist, blocks and steals, Thats overrated???
or you just don’t like him. One of the issues now a days with people is if they don’t like someone they try to discredit them, I always found that to be weak. I don’t like Jay Z but you know whay dude is one of the best to do it rapping wise and business wise. Most people say Mj is the greatest, well you do know Lebron will finish his career with more points, already has more assist and rebounds, more wins, more playoff wins. The only thing Jordan really has over him is the Chips, and even if you don’t feel like he is top 5, their is now way a overrated player can score 30k in his career especially when its only been 5 players in the history of the game that’s done it
Naw man, the facts speak for themselves
What I said was facts, what are you talking about, I hit you with numbers, Look how he looks and plays compared to the other stars that came in the league with him. D.Wade should retire, Melo not that as good as he used to be he 4th on his team behind Russ, PG, Adams. James is still the best player in the game.
Your gonna have to do better than that
BWahahahahahahahahahahaha…Its a movie about a party, why does it have to be ‘House Party’? Oh that’s right so everybody will go see it based off it being a “historical black movie.” I guess its a nice easy transition for someone who doesn’t know shit about producing movies. Class Act was better he should’ve remade that one
I see it’s a lot of King James haters on here, he doesn’t know anything about producing?? Are yall out your minds, these dude owns Springhill Ent, they putting out project after project, tv show after tv show, check the documentary he did on those young hs football players from st louis.
I never understand when people say it’s going to mess it up how?? If you don’t want to watch it then don’t. If you love the movie this is a positive IMO. My black people do we ever trip, we complain about hollywood not having enough black producers, black movies etc, and then as soon as a Black man, wants to produce a black movie, remake or whatever, everybody like naw shouldn’t do it naw they gone mess it up blah blah blah, I’m a fan of House party, when I heard That Lebron film company is doing it, First thing I think of is man I hope they can do major numbers at the Box office, I assume it will be good if you look at the track record of stuff Lebron is producing, so yall ain’t never seen survivors remorse on showtime??? Him and his people def know what they are doing.
LMAO really? really now? so we going to forget the year he brought the cavs to the finals…when without him they were like a G-league team? or you forgot? stay blessed.
He did his thing in the 09 season with that Bum ass team. You right on that. But Kobe killed it 3 years in a row with jordan farmar and sasha vuicic. Facts
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… we don’t want to see this or anything after House Party 2 (maybe three because of all the comedic legends in it). Other than that NAH…. find another story to tell, everything old doesn’t have to be remade again. Just make an original movie. This is lazy!
