It\u2019d be hard to say, between Kendrick Lamar and\u00a0South Park\u00a0creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who\u2019s had the busier 2025. Lamar arrived in the new year with a splash, obviously, most notably with his Drake-immolating Super Bowl performance<\/a> back in February. (He\u2019s since spent most of the rest of the year co-headlining a tour with SZA.) But the South Park\u00a0guys\/semi-successful restaurateurs<\/a> have certainly made up for lost time, launching a series of zeitgeist-seizing attacks on Donald Trump that\u2019ve had the knock-on effect of extending their current run on Comedy Central by shifting the show to a biweekly schedule. The upshot is that all these guys are busy\u2014so busy, it\u2019s having yet another impact on their plans to get together to make a comedy movie musical together<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is per\u00a0THR<\/a>, which reports that the untitled collaboration between Lamar, Parker, and Stone has once again been delayed, this time getting knocked off Paramount\u2019s film release schedule outright. (It had previously been bumped<\/a> from July 4 of this year to March of 2026.) Forestalling worries that the movie is just plain dead, Parker and Stone\u2019s Park County and Lamar\u2019s pgLand issued a joint statement this weekend admitting \u201cIt\u2019s true\u2014we\u2019re moving (again). We\u2019re working hard at finishing the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n If we\u2019re being honest, we\u2019re most excited about the film\u2014originally announced back in 2022, and still untitled\u2014for reasons that go beyond the pedigrees of its biggest name collaborators. See, Parker, Stone, and Lamar are working from a script from Vernon Chatman, who South Park\u00a0fans will know as a writer and producer on the show (as well as the voice of Towelie). But who will always, in our hearts, be the creator or co-creator of some of the most wonderfully weird TV comedies of the last generation, including Wonder Showzen<\/a>;\u00a0The Heart, She Holler<\/a>;\u00a0The Shivering Truth<\/a>;\u00a0and many more. The idea of Paramount putting a movie written by Chatman into theaters is just delightfully weird to us, so we\u2019re excited to see Lamar, Parker, and Stone straighten their schedules out so the film can find a new berth on the studio\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n
