Matt Stone, Trey Parker, And Kendrick Lamar Team Up For Musical-Comedy

Matt Stone and Trey Parker team up with Kendrick Lamar for a new project.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creative minds behind the iconic animated series South Park, are teaming up with Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar for an exciting new project. Paramount Pictures made the announcement during CinemaCon in Las Vegas, revealing that the trio will collaborate on an original live-action musical set to start filming this summer. The film is scheduled for release on the Fourth of July in 2025.

The untitled musical, produced by Lamar's company PGLang and Stone and Parker's Park County, has generated significant buzz since its initial announcement in 2022. Paramount film chief Brian Robbins expressed his enthusiasm for the project, describing the script as one of the funniest and most original he has ever encountered. The movie promises to deliver a unique and entertaining experience for audiences when it premieres in 2025.

Stone and Parker are no strangers to the world of musicals, having achieved success with projects like the Tony-winning Broadway show The Book of Mormon and the cult classic film Team America: World Police. Their creative partnership dates back to their early work on the indie film Cannibal! The Musical, showcasing their talent for blending humor with music.

Lamar, a highly acclaimed artist known for his groundbreaking music and impressive accolades, brings his unique perspective and talent to the collaboration. With a Pulitzer Prize for Music, multiple Grammy Awards, and an Emmy to his name, Lamar's involvement adds a new dimension to the project.

Fans of Stone, Parker, and Lamar can look forward to a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience that combines comedy, music, and creativity. As production gears up for the summer, anticipation is building for the release of this exciting musical venture in 2025.
