Fresh off of making the award-winning music video for “Old Town Road”—the greatest and most popular song of all time—director Calmatic is getting ready to make his feature directing debut. According to Deadline, New Line has tapped him to make a remake of ‘90s Kid ‘N Play comedy classic House Party. This is the same remake we heard about last February, with LeBron James on board as a producer and Atlanta’s Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori writing the script, so combine that with Calmatic having made “Old Town Road” and it’s clear that this thing has a damn good pedigree.
The original movie was about exactly what it said on the label, with Christopher “Kid” Reid and Christopher “Play” Martin throwing a big party at a house. It also got a ton of sequels, all the way up to 2012's House Party: Tonight’s The Night, which was the fifth movie in the series. No casting details have been announced yet.

It seems unfair to torture Kid ‘N Play like this.
Will this movie shoe horn in cameos of some of the franchises previous stars like Tisha Campbell and Full Force?
They did it to us!
Is that Federico Calmatic??!
There are FIVE “House Party” films?And only one “Class Act”?We’ve been being deprived.
I am ok with this.As long as wiz khalifa is not in it.
“the greatest and most popular song of all time”Thats snark, right?
This movie is gonna make House Party look like House Party 2.
ten bux this goes the way of the how high “sequel” and is just a glorified mtv2 “film”
I don’t remember much about House Party except that Robin Harris as Pop was fucking hilarious and it’s sad he’s gone.Kid n Play are still around, just let them be in it. NOT as the now-grown-up parents of kids who want to have a party – they’re guys in their 50s who want to have a party, and their kids.. I don’t know, are embarrassed by them.
And he’s going to shoot it in…err…New Zealand!
CORSSOVER!
Ain’t My Type of Hype. This piece-of-shit is gonna make House Party 3 look like an AFI top 100.
Makes me wanna kick his fuckin’ ass!
