John Cena, Awkwafina and Simu Liu have signed on to star in director Paul Feig's action-comedy Grand Death Lotto for Amazon Studios.
"In the very near future, the Grand Lottery has been established in economically challenged California. The only catch? Kill the winner before sundown and you can legally claim their prize," the streaming service said in a synopsis Thursday.
"New LA transplant Katie (Awkwafina) accidentally finds herself with the winning ticket and must join forces with amateur jackpot protector Noel (John Cena) to make it to sundown in order to claim her multi-billion dollar prize, all while dealing with Noel's protection rival Louis Lewis (Simu Liu), who also wants to get her to sundown in order to claim his rich protection commission."
The movie is expected to premiere on Prime Video, but no date has been announced yet.
"I love action comedy and extreme physical comedy and this movie has both in abundance, as well as a boatload of heart and hilarity," said Feig. "This lotto will make winners of us all."
