Doctor Who star Tosin Cole's new film House Party has announced a UK release date following its US theatre debut.

A remake of the 1990 comedy of the same name, the R-rated film will see Cole and The Maze Runner's Jacob Latimore as aspiring club promoters Damon and Kevin, organising a party for the ages... at LeBron James's house.

The movie will be released in US cinemas on January 13, while viewers in the UK will have to wait until January 30 to feast their eyes on this cameo-packed, raucous all-nighter.

According to Warner Bros, who's distributing the film in the UK, House Party won't have a theatrical release, but will go straight to digital.

The movie will mark the directorial debut of Calmatic, best known for his work on commercials and music videos for the likes of Lil Nas X, Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino, among others.

In this feature-length film, Cole's and Latimer's characters will be trying to reverse their luck when they risk losing their home and get fired from their cleaning job. Desperate but resourceful, the two decide to host a huge party at a mansion which belongs to LeBron James, one of their high-profile cleaning clients, while he is away.
