South Park guys issue rare, apparently genuine apology for not getting their Kendrick Lamar movie done yet
Matt Stone and Trey Parker issued a statement on Wednesday taking "full responsibility" for not finishing their Kendrick Lamar collaboration Whitney Springs .
South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have apologized for the delays in their Kendrick Lamar-produced movie, Whitney Springs. The live-action film, based on a historical slave plantation museum in the Midwest, has been pushed further back on Paramount's schedule every year. Last November, it was removed from the studio's calendar altogether.
In a rare move, the duo issued a statement of apology to partners at pgLang and Paramount, admitting full responsibility for the delays. They also expressed appreciation for the partners' patience and renewed belief in the project. Details about the movie are still scarce, including its final title. Paramount had to read the script, written by Chatman, at Parker and Stone's office.
The film reportedly completed principal photography in October 2024, but the studio has been quiet since last November when it was bumped from a hypothetical March 2026 release.
