Adam McKay, Will Smith, Denzel Washington To Team Up For 'Uptown Saturday Night' Remake?

Does that sound like a good candidate for a remake? Warner Brothers apparently thinks so, and—according to Deadline—has enlisted director Adam McKay ("Anchorman," "The Other Guys") to bring the project to fruition. Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment is already on-board to produce the film, as Smith ostensibly plans to star. His theoretically partner in crime? Denzel Washington. How's that for star power? Like "Tower Heist" or "Ocean's Eleven," the rest of the cast would be filled out with other famous actors and comedians.

What do you think, Hitlisters? Is this the sort of project Smith should be making, instead of dour, inevitably disappointing sequels like "Hancock 2" and "Men In Black III?" And how come Denzel and Smith haven't teamed up yet? And how awesome would that be? And all those other fascinating, speculative, possibly rhetorical questions... Normally we're against Hollywood cannibalizing its past, but this is one remake we can (theoretically) get behind.
