LeBron James to Produce 'House Party' Reboot for New Line (Exclusive)

Atlanta' writers Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori are penning the screenplay.

As Los Angeles hosts its first NBA All-Star shindig in seven years, LeBron James is prepping a Hollywood bash of his own.

The megastar and his SpringHill Entertainment partner, Maverick Carter, are producing a new House  Party, which will revive the Kid ’n Play–fronted New Line comedy franchise that started in 1990 and was followed by sequels in 1991 and 1994. Atlanta’s Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori will pen the screenplay.

“This is definitely not a reboot. It’s an entirely new look for a classic movie,” James tells The Hollywood Reporter. “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.”

Fans can expect a star-studded soundtrack, perhaps even James’ good pal Drake, with whom SpringHill is collaborating on Netflix’s crime drama, Top Boy, and Vince Carter doc The Carter Effect.

“We’re trying out some ideas for musicians to be cast in and to be a part of the project,” says Carter, who adds that a cameo by James, in high demand since his well-received performance in Universal’s Trainwreck, also remains a possibility. “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,” adds Carter.

Warner Bros.–based SpringHill is eyeing House Party as the Survivor’s Remorse banner’s first narrative feature, with its Space Jam  remake “a ways off,” says Carter. The films join a SpringHill slate that also includes Netflix’s limited series about entrepreneur and activist Madam C.J. Walker, starring and executive produced by Octavia Spencer; Starz’s docuseries Warriors of Liberty City, about a Florida youth football team that has produced more than 40 NFL players; and NBC game show The Wall, which just wrapped its second season.

James, 33, is leading the pack among a group of hoops stars leveraging their appeal in Hollywood. Kobe Bryant is an Oscar nominee for doc short Dear Basketball, while Forest Whitaker, Nina Yang Bongiovi and Jason Samuels are producing an authorized doc about Stephon Marbury’s surprising second act as a basketball god in China (Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah are directing). Even less expected: Steve Nash is producing an untitled feature about the rise of ecstasy and the rave culture in Reagan-era Texas. Says the film’s producer, Braxton Pope: "Steve has great taste and is serious in a sustained way about film and creative content. He's been an ideal partner.”

“This is definitely not a reboot. It’s an entirely new look for a classic movie,”

Isn't that kind of what a reboot is?

[imsounoriginal]

Yeah the headline says reboot but the quote says it's not a reboot but it definitely sounds like a reboot, so I said reboot/remake in the title lol

[Kazutaka]

It's a re-interpretation of the House Party mythos

[doctorD]

I’ll have to wait and see on this. My cousin was in the original.

I just remembered that Christopher Reid (Kid) was a guest at my Summer camp one year when I was a kid. Being in Brooklyn, and House Party being a bigger thing back then, this was actually pretty cool.

"This movie is gonna make House Party look like House Party 2!"

[Britbuffguy]

Those movies were so awful. A remake has tons of room for improvement.

[stvn1974]

I am calling it now on the plot. The film will be about a party that takes place at a house.

Please use spoiler tags. Thanks.

I would love to have at least the first House Party movie on blu. Good times.

When this new movie is crapped out, we’ll probably get at least the first film.

[HeavyHitter]

Yeah seems ridiculous the original movie is not out yet (oh - a new 2K scan of the IP unprocessed and nicely encoded will do just fine for me, thank you!). I was tempted to buy the DVD recently, but resisted.
