Above The Line reported that the film will revolve around the story of a young Black man who works as an intern at a living history museum. His main task is a slave reenactor.

However, along the way, he would discover that his white girlfriend's ancestors once used his as slaves. As of this writing, actors who will star in the film have not been announced.

Trey Parker will serve as the movie's director while Dave Free will be the producer under pg Lang along with Kendrick Lamar.

The Paramount movie is projected to begin filming later this year. It was initially scheduled to start last year, but Parker and Stone had other plans in their busy schedule.

The upcoming project was first announced earlier this year. Paramount Pictures President & CEO Brian Robbins issued a statement, saying they look forward to "ushering in the first theatrical collaboration from these creative visionaries, and galvanizing audiences worldwide around a powerful storytelling experience."

A release date for the untitled movie has yet to be announced.

Not The First Time Kendrick Lamar Would Work With 'South Park' Co-Creators

Last year, Kendrick Lamar shocked fans with the music video for his song "The Heart Pt. 5" as he transformed to several musicians like Kanye West, 2Pac, and many more.

However, little did the public know, the company specializing in deep fake technology is owned by Parker and Stone, and they were the first to use it for a video.

In other updates, Kendrick Lamar is also busy with his music career despite his debut in the world of movies as he's one of the headliners for the upcoming Outside Lands Music Festival which will be from August 11 to 13 at the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
