The 'UNO' Movie Was Supposed to Be a Heist Film

There hasn't been a lot of coverage regarding the UNO movie Mattel had in development at one point, but the screenwriter behind it recently had plenty to share regarding her concept for the project. During a recent interview with The New Yorker, Marcy Kelly, the writer who was hired to work on the story involving the classic card game, explained that the movie was supposed to be dealing with a heist when it was originally conceived.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While she didn't elaborate as to why UNO would be connected to a heist, here's what Kelly had to say about the project she once worked on: My reaction was the reaction that everybody has, which is ‘What?’ The first draft that I sent in was ‘fuck’-heavy,”. It was something like fifty pages, and then the next draft had one. I got my one, well-placed, PG-13 ‘fuck.’ They’ve been open to so many kinds of unexpected ideas.

Mattel has been working really hard on building successful blockbusters out of their most recognizable intellectual property. Besides hiring a new writers' room to think of a different story for the UNO project, it appears that the company has found an idea they like for the Hot Wheels adaptation to finally come to life. Bad Robot, the production company led by J.J. Abrams, is set to ensure the movie is produced the best way it possibly can be.

But perhaps the biggest hit currently in the works from the famous toy company is this summer's Barbie. Starring Margot Robbie as the titular iconic doll, the movie will feature everything you can expect from someone who thrives in any field while having impeccable style. A waterslide coming straight out of her bedroom, her signature pink convertible and infinite parties are just some of the things Barbie is used to seeing in her day-to-day life.
