Pomona, CA - Kendrick Lamar has been spotted filming his first-ever movie with South Park co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
A video that surfaced on social media on Monday (September 30) appeared to show K. Dot and co. shooting scenes for the upcoming live-action comedy in Pomona, California.
While the project is largely being kept under wraps, various details have come out since it was first announced almost three years ago.
The as-yet-untitled film will “depict the past and present coming to a head when a young Black man who is interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his,” according to a synopsis.
Brian Robbins, CEO of Paramount Paramount which owns the distribution rights to the movie, described it as “one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read and it’s certain to create some fireworks” at CinemaCon earlier this year.
Handling writing duties is longtime South Park writer, producer and voice actor Vernon Chatman, who has also worked with Killer Mike and Snoop Dogg on Trigger Warning With Killer Mike and Doggie Fizzle Televizzle, respectively. He was also a writer for The Chris Rock Show.
Parker is directing the film while Stone, Kendrick and his longtime collaborator and fellow pgLang co-founder Dave Free are on board as producers.
It is not yet known if the Compton rapper, who has previous acting experience in 50 Cent’s Power series, will star in the flick.
No other casting information has yet been revealed, although fans can expect the movie to hit theaters on July 4, 2025.
Kendrick has worked with Stone and Parker in the past for his “The Heart Part 5” music video in 2022.
The South Park duo worked on the deepfake technology present in the clip, which saw Kendrick morph into a number of famous figures such as Kobe Bryant, Will Smith and OJ Simpson.
In an interview with The New York Times Magazine, Stone revealed there was one deepfake which did not make the cut: “You see Kendrick turned into 2Pac, Kendrick turned into Kanye, and I think we had Eminem.”
