Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind the Making of “House Party”
The Sequels
These studios can be so scandalous. Believe it or not, the original director, Hudlin, had nothing to do with the films’ sequels. New Line wanted Hudlin to make the movie for the same $2.5 million dollars he made the first one with. Considering the first movie’s immense success and the fact that Hudlin was receiving offers from every other major studio, that is quite insulting to say the least. So Hudlin declined. But he’s still winning. Since the original idea was his, he’s received checks for all of them. No wonder the sequels were pretty crappy after the second one. They lacked the proper direction. Shame.
