The two actors' plans to remake the 1974 comedy are taking shape, as Nicholas Stoller has joined the project as a screenwriter, Variety reports. Stoller, who directed "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (2008) and wrote "The Muppets" (2011) among other films, has been tasked with penning the screenplay for the forthcoming "Uptown Saturday Night" remake, a project championed by Will Smith since 2002. Adam McKay ("Step Brothers") has been attached to direct this Warner Bros production since last year. Will Smith and Denzel Washington will star in the roles originally played by Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier.
