House Party

House Party (2023)

Party like your life depends on it.

Aspiring club promoters and best buds Damon and Kevin 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?

Interesting facts

  • Based on: House Party
  • Filmed in: California

House Party is a 2023 American comedy film directed by Calmatic from a screenplay by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover. It serves as a reboot of the 1990 film of the same name and the sixth installment in the House Party franchise. The film stars Tosin Cole, Jacob Latimore, Karen Obilom, D.C. Young Fly, and Scott Mescudi. Its plot follows two young aspiring club promoters working as house cleaners who throw a party at their latest job site: LeBron James' mansion.

Production

In February 2018, it was announced that New Line Cinema was developing a remake of House Party with LeBron James and Maverick Carter producing under their production company SpringHill Entertainment. Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori were attached to write the adaptation. In September 2019, it was announced that Calmatic had joined the production as director. The film was scheduled to be released exclusively on HBO Max via streaming.

In April 2021, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and Tosin Cole were cast in lead roles. DC Young Fly joined the cast, followed in June by Karen Obilom, Melvin Gregg, Rotimi, Allen Maldonado, Shakira Ja'nai Paye, Andrew Santino, and Bill Bellamy. By July 2021, Lendeborg Jr. was replaced by Jacob Latimore, following the former's departure from the project to focus on improving his mental health. That same month, Tamera Kissen was cast in a supporting role.

Principal photography began on July 2, 2021, in Los Angeles. Production was suspended later that month due to nine positive cases of COVID-19 reported, although only one was part of the production staff, while the rest were extras. Filming subsequently resumed on August 2, 2021.
