According to the The Grio, a remake of the classic comedy, “Uptown Saturday Night,” is being developed with Denzel Washington and Will Smith set to star in the film.

The report by Variety reads,

“Smith and Washington are committed to getting the film off the ground, with a summer shoot being eyed.  Both stars must be on board with the latest draft or it’s a no-go.”

Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier were the leading actors in the original 1974 comedy. The original film also starred Harry Belafonte who gave a hilarious rendition of Marlon Brando’s character in The Godfather.
