The New ‘House Party’ Joins A Three-Decade Old Movie Franchise

Famed music video director Charles “Calmatic” Kidd II directs the reimagined House Party off a screenplay written by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover. LeBron James and Maverick Carter produce the movie through their SpringHill Company. Spencer Beighley and Jamal Henderson executive produce along with Reginald Hudlin, Warrington Hudlin, and Gretel Twombly.

Besides Kid ‘n Play, 1990’s House Party also starred Robin Harris, Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, A.J. Johnson, John Witherspoon, and Full Force. The cult classic made over $26 million at the global box office and earned positive reviews.

The success of House Party led to sequels such as 1991’s House Party 2 and 1994’s House Party 3. The direct-to-video House Party 4: Down to the Last Minute came out in 2000 with R&B boy band IMx (aka Immature) in the lead roles. Kid ‘n Play also made a special appearance in 2013’s House Party: Tonight’s the Night.
