HBO Max [1] has shared its first look at the LeBron James [2]-produced remake of "House Party," which is coming to the streamer this summer. In the new pictures, cast members Jacob Latimore, Tosin Cole, and Karen Obilom are spotted at the titular party. The movie is a remake of the original 1990 "House Party," which starred Christopher "Kid" Reid and Christopher "Play" Martin as the two leads, alongside Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, and A.J. Johnson. The cult classic was a critical success, making $26 million at the box office.

The new movie is taking on a huge risk by tying itself to such a beloved film. Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori serve as screenwriters, and Calmatic — who's best known for directing the music video for "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus — is the director. "House Party" is his feature debut, and he's also directing the "White Men Can't Jump" reboot [3] starring Jack Harlow [4] and Sinqua Walls [5].

According to Deadline [6], one reason the movie is happening is because James and his producing partner Maverick Carter are such huge fans of the original, which spun off its own successful sequels. It's very possible this new "House Party" will turn into a franchise, too, and Deadline reported that the movie will have some major cameos.

Read on for everything we know about "House Party," including the cast, plot, release date, and first-look photos.

"House Party" Cast

The photos that have been released of the new "House Party" give us our first look at Jacob Latimore as Kevin, Tosin Cole as Damon, and Karen Obilom as Venus. The announced cast also includes DC Young Fly, Melvin Gregg, Rotimi, Allen Maldonado, Shakira Ja'nai Paye, Andrew Santino, Bill Bellamy, and Tamera Kissen. Based on the plot, it also seems likely LeBron James will at least cameo, as will some of his famous friends.

"House Party" Release Date

The release date for "House Party" is July 28. The movie will be available to stream on HBO Max.

"House Party" Plot

The original "House Party" was about high school students, but the remake is taking a different approach. Warner Bros. describes the plot this way: "When a pair of down on their luck house cleaners discover they're assigned to clean the mansion of Lebron James while he's overseas, they decide to make a life-changing decision to throw a giant party in a quest for immortality and some cash. As the party gets out of control and one of Lebron's championship rings goes missing, they will be launched into a wild night that they will never forget."
