The movie was first announced in 2018. Back then, Carter had said that a cameo by LeBron James in the movie was a possibility. And fans who have already watched the trailer very well know if the Los Angeles Lakers star has decided to polish his acting skills or not. Talking more about the project, James said that the upcoming movie will not be exactly like the classic and will be shown from the new generation’s perspective.
“This is definitely not a reboot. 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,” said James.
