AJ Johnson on the reboot of ‘House Party’

Popular actress AJ Johnson appeared for an interview with Vlad TV, where she talked about the 1990 ‘House Party’. She revealed that she was only paid $4K for her role in the movie. Later in the interview, she said that the film could not be ‘redone well’.

“I was not offered to be involved. I don’t know if I would have been. Because I honestly feel like when something is that iconic. I believe in a sequel. I believe in the prequel, that could be cool,” AJ Johnson said when asked if she was offered a role in the reboot.

“But to try to do a reboot, I just think some things are better left undone. You know they’re just better left where they are. Because it’s classic for a reason and I just don’t know any classics that get redone well. So, we’ll see what happens. I hope I’m wrong,” she added.

LeBron James, who is co-producing the film. It is too early to judge the film just based on the trailer. The 1990 film was a classic and was adored around the world. It performed so well at the box office that many sequels of the film were released in the following years.
