The original movie followed Kid (Christopher ‘Kid’ Reid) and Play (Christopher ‘Play’ Martin) as the latter plans an epic house party.

The party turns out to be the most incredible night of their young lives as they deal with nosy neighbors (John Witherspoon, Bebe Drake), Kid’s strict father (Robin Harris) and a trio of thugs (Paul Anthony, Bowlegged Lou and B-Fine of Full Force).

The movie marked the writing and directing debut of Reginald Hudlin (Boomerang) and helped legitimize hip-hop as a musical art form.

The original film was a surprise box office hit that spawned several sequels and helped launch the careers of Kid n Play, Tisha Martin-Campbell, Martin Lawrence, A.J. Johnson, Daryl ‘Chill’ Mitchell and Full Force.

No plot details were given for the reboot, though Calmatic will direct from a script by Emmy-winning writing duo Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori (Atlanta).

James and Maverick Carter will produce through their SpringHill Entertainment company, with the project said to be a high priority for both producers.

Both James and Carter were huge fans of the original film, which still holds a ‘special place’ in their hearts, with New Line seeing franchise potential in the reboot. 

Original writer-director Reginald Hudlin and original producer Warrington Hudlin will serve as executive producers with SpringHill’s Spencer Beighley and Jamal Henderson.

Now that the male leads have been found, casting will focus on their female counterparts, with a number of surprise cameos being planned.
