McKay Moves "Uptown"

Adam McKay is in talks to direct the remake of the 1974 Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier buddy comedy Uptown Saturday Night." currently in development says Deadline.

The original film followed 2 estranged friends who have their wallets stolen at a nightclub. The next morning, they learn that one contained a winning lottery ticket and they set out to find it. The remake will alter that storyline somewhat.

The studio is hoping to get Will Smith and Denzel Washington to star

Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin had been attached to call action on the remake first.

The updated script is written by Tim Dowling (Role Models).

If McKay signs on he would likely do this once he wraps work on Anchorman 2
