“We also wrote a McDonald’s movie we made called McSam that we’re hoping to get made,” Resse told BroBible’s Post-Credit Podcast. “That’s still possibly coming so we’ll see where that gets.”
While neither Wernick nor Reese gave further details, previous reports indicated that the project would be about McDonald’s infamous Monopoly scheme that was uncovered in the early 2000s.
In addition to the update on McScam, the screenwriting duo also told us that they’re developing a series about the infamously disastrous release of “New Coke” back in the 1980s.
