A true 90s classic, House Party is getting a remake and Warner Bros. Pictures have now dropped a first trailer.
While the original movie featured popular hip hop group, Kid ‘n Play, the remake stars Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole. The duo play two friends struggling to make ends meet, who get the opportunity to clean LeBron James’ mansion. They decide to throw a lavish party at the NBA superstar’s house and from the trailer, it looks like the party was a blast.
House Party will be the directorial debut from Grammy-winning music video director Calmatic. The film’s script is written by Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori. LeBron James and Maverick Carter serve as the film’s producers.
Originally set for release in 2022 exclusively on HBO Max, the reboot is now set for a theatrical release instead of straight-to-streaming.
House Party begins showing in theaters on January 13, 2023. Check out the trailer below
Here’s the official synopsis
“Aspiring club promoters and best buds Damon (Tosin Cole) and Kevin (Jacob Latimore) are barely keeping things together. Out of money, down on their luck and about to lose the roofs over their heads—and freshly fired from their low-lift jobs as house cleaners—the pair needs a huge windfall to make their problems go away. In a ‘what the hell?’ move, they decide to host the party of the year at an exclusive mansion, the site of their last cleaning job, which just happens to belong to none other than LeBron James. No permission? No problem. What could go wrong? How about a time traveling DJ, undependable security, a runaway guest list, one borrowed Lamborghini, angry rival promoters, a stolen championship ring, escalating property damage, an angry koala..? But also, one outrageous ride stacked with double-take cameos and timeless throwback tracks, R-rated comedy and two friends worth cheering for… you have to see to believe.”
