James said of the film, “This is definitely not a reboot. It’s an entirely new look for a classic movie. 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.”

On talks about casting rapper Drake in the film, James said, “We’re trying out some ideas for musicians to be cast in and to be a part of the project. 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.”
