Mattel Films is developing a live action heist comedy “Uno” movie inspired by the card game, the company announced on Thursday.
Mattel Films will produce the project alongside Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Yachty. In addition, Quality Control’s Kevin “Coach K” Lee, Pierre “P” Thomas and Brian Sher will produce for Quality Films.
Marcy Kelly wrote the screenplay for the action heist comedy, set in the underground hip hop world of Atlanta. Robbie Brenner is the executive producer, and Kevin McKeon is the supervising producer. Both will lead the project for Mattel Films.
“At Mattel Films, we are looking to explore stories that bring our brands to life in unexpected ways,” said Brenner in a statement to TheWrap. “Uno is a game that transcends generations and cultures and we look forward to partnering with Lil Yachty, as well as with Coach, P and Brian Sher, to transform the classic Uno game into a comedic action adventure.
