Kendrick Lamar and “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone aren’t ready to unveil their mysterious live-action comedy just yet. Paramount has removed the trio’s upcoming feature from its March 20 release date, delaying the theatrical release indefinitely as the project continues to be tinkered.
“It’s true – we’re moving (again). We’re working hard at finishing the movie,” reads a joint statement from Paramount, attributed to Stone and Parker’s production banner Park County and Lamar’s company PGLang.
The long-gestating production has already been bumped down Paramount’s release calendar before. When unveiled in 2024, the film had been set for a July 4, 2025 release — conspicuously timed to the Independence Day holiday. Three months out, the studio punted to March 20, 2026. Now, a similar three-month window out, the film has been delayed again, though this time with no new date set.
As its lack of an official title would indicate, details about Lamar, Parker and Stone’s live-action collaboration have been closely guarded. No cast members or logline have been revealed. What is known is that the film is written by comedian Vernon Chatman and it follows a young Black man who interns as a slave re-enactor at a history museum. Lamar, Parker and Stone are producers, along with Dave Free for PGLang.
