Rapper Lil Yachty is in talks to lead the cast of a new heist movie inspired by Mattel s Uno card game. The Grammy-nominated rapper is producing the action heist comedy, which will be set in the underground hip-hop world of Atlanta, Georgia, with Mattel Films, and he is also being eyed for the lead role. I m so excited to be part of this film with Mattel, said Lil Yachty in a statement. 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.
