LeBron James certainly has a sense of humor. The first trailer for his remake of the 1990 comedy “House Party” takes us inside his massive crib and even into his closet, where LeBron has a life-size hologram designed to butter him up each morning.
“You are one handsome motherf—er,” the James hologram says to the film’s two protagonists in its first trailer. “You handled the decision to go to Miami perfectly.”
The new “House Party” follows two aspiring club promoters and best buds (Tosin Cole and Jacob Latimore) tasked with cleaning James’ house before deciding to throw a massive party while James is away in order to fund their future.

But of course things get out of hand, and the red-band trailer for the movie teases a few of the things that are mentioned in the film’s official synopsis, such as a time traveling DJ, undependable security, a runaway guest list, one borrowed Lamborghini, angry rival promoters, a stolen championship ring, escalating property damage and even an angry and stoned koala.
“House Party” also stars Karen Obilom, DC Young Fly and Scott Mecudi, but it’s the cameos that will help make this new one a classic, and eagle-eyed fans will spot the OG “House Party” stars who portrayed the characters Kid and Play, Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin in this first preview.
Directed by Calmatic, “House Party” was written by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover (“Atlanta”) and produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter of The SpringHill Company.
Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema are releasing “House Party” and have adjusted the release date for it to now open only in theaters on Jan. 13. Check out the red-band trailer above.
