Kendrick Lamar and the creators of the well-known comedy show have been working together on this project for a while.
It will take a little longer for Kendrick Lamar to make his most significant Hollywood debut. Variety has reported that the yet-to-be-titled movie starring the Compton icon and the South Park creators will now take place on March 20, 2026. Even if this is a regrettable development, at least we have a reliable timeline. The film, which is being distributed by Paramount, was originally scheduled to premiere on theaters nationwide on July 4, 2025. This statement came from the studio at the start of CinemaCon, which began earlier today, March 31. Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the venue for the four-day tournament. In other words, it will end on April 3.

For people who are not very familiar with the film industry, theater owners arrange this yearly gathering. Major motion picture studios can promote their next films here. Regretfully, the reason behind the delay in this collaboration between Vernon Chatman, Trey Parker, Dave Free, Matt Stone, and Kendrick Lamar remains unknown. There are as few details as there are for the actual film. We only have a broad overview of it. Consequently, “the film will depict the past and present coming 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.”
All things considered, Lamar’s forthcoming summer schedule is the only thing we can presume is impeding the process. Recall that he will embark on the Grand National Tour with SZA on April 19. His unexpected sixth album, GNX, will be supported by that globe tour. In Sweden, it will continue till August 19.
Hopefully, this is the final disappointing detail about the fascinating film that we have to share. It has been in production for a long time already. According to The FADER, the idea was initiated in 2022. In 2023, Trey Parker took over as director. Then, according to some sources, Lamar began filming sequences for it last year.
