*Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free teamed with “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for a comedy film that hits theaters next year.

According to Variety, the movie is slated for release on July 4, 2025, via Paramount Pictures. While Kendrick Lamar’s involvement in front of the camera remains uncertain, the report notes his and Dave Free’s roles in the production.

Discussing Film describes the feature as a musical that follows “a young Black man interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum who discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his.”

Meanwhile, Kendrick’s reps have clarified that the currently untitled film is not a musical.

Lamar and Grammy winner Dave Free will produce the film through pgLang, their multidisciplinary communications company.
