Paramount revealed during CinemaCon 2024 that the untitled comedy movie from Kendrick Lamar and South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker will be released in theaters on July 4, 2025.
The news was shared by Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins, who also confirmed production on the movie will begin this summer. Additionally, he said the script is "one of the funniest and most original scripts we've ever read and it's certain to create some fireworks when it hits theaters on July 4, 2025."
This movie, which will also see pgLang's Dave Free as a producer, was announced in 2022 with South Park's Vernon Chatman as the writer.
"The past and present [come] to a head when a young black man who is interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his," the film's official description read back in 2022.
This new comedy will be Matt Stone and Trey Parker's first feature film following 1999's South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut and 2004's Team America: World Police. This will be the first feature film for pgLang, which was founded by Lamar and Free in 2020.
