Marcy Kelly wrote the screenplay for the movie, which is set in the “underground hip hop world of Atlanta.” No cast has been announced yet, but Lil Yachty is being eyed for the lead role, according to the report.
“I’m so excited to be part of this film with Mattel. I played Uno as a kid and still do today, so to spin that into a movie based on the Atlanta hip hop scene I came out of is really special. It hits close to home for me,” he said in a statement.
