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.
