Jacob Latimore Set To Co-Star in “House Party” Reboot
A new House Party film is on the way and The Chi actor Jacob Latimore is set to star in it.
According to Deadline, Latimore is replacing Jorge Lendeborg Jr. Sources say he recently left the project to focus on his mental well-being; the exit was supported by the studio and filmmakers.
The 24-year old actor will now co-star opposite Tosin Cole, with award-winning music video director Calmatic helming in his feature debut.
New Line Cinema is brining the 1990’s classic back to the screen. SpringHill Company (LeBron James and Maverick Carter) will produce the film.
The original House Party follows a high schooler (played by Christopher “Kid” Reid) sneaking out to his friend’s (Christopher “Play” Martin) house party in what turns into a wild night of hip hop and fun.
The film launched careers for Kid ‘n Play, Tisha Martin-Campbell, Martin Lawrence, A.J. Johnson, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell and Full Force (Paul Anthony, Bowlegged Lou and B-Fine).
Latimore is making a name for himself on screen as well. He’s in the fourth season of the Chi and set to co-star in Legendary’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel. He’s also slated to shoot Panopticon in early 2022.
No release date has been set for House Party yet.
Congratulations, Jacob Latimore!
