Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Kendrick Lamar Just Started Shooting Their Joint Comedy
Production is underway on the most unlikely comedy collaboration since Terrance and Phillip made peace with the Queef Sisters.
Back in April, Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins announced that his company had officially greenlit a comedy film from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and rap superstar Kendrick Lamar, saying of the still-untitled screenplay, “This script is one of the funniest, craziest and most original scripts we’ve ever read, and it’s certain to create some fireworks when it hits theaters on July 4th, 2025.”
Almost six months later, we still know very little about the film — other than the fact that, contrary to Robbins’ other comments that day, the movie is disappointingly not a musical — but, earlier this week, residents of Pomona, California caught a sneak peek of the project’s set as Paramount and their unlikely team began filming.

Written by South Park veteran and Adult Swim legend Vernon Chatman, the Parker-and-Stone-produced 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 the official synopsis.
Along with serving as a producer on the project with Stone, Parker is also the director of the feature, a role he serves on the many South Park specials and movies as well as on the various side projects from the series creators. Chatman, who created such cult classic animated comedies as Wonder Showzen and Xavier: Renegade Angel, has plenty of experience with the kind of dark comedy that’s sure to be featured on the untitled project, but he also has an extensive history working with rappers, having collaborated with hip-hop legends Killer Mike and Snoop Dogg on different projects.
Based on the synopsis, this untitled Parker-Stone-Chatman-Lamar comedy movie is sure to make audiences squirm, but that’s probably the point — remember when Cartman got into college athletics?
