"At Mattel Films, we are looking to explore stories that bring our brands to life in unexpected ways,” said executive producer Robbie Brenner. "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."

"I'm so excited to be part of this film with Mattel," said Lil Yachty. "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."
