Awkwafina, Paul Feig, and John Cena wielding weapons on the set of Grand Death Lotto
The Big Picture Awkwafina hits the Jackpot! in the first trailer for Paul Feig's new action comedy at Prime Video, though it's not the massive win she could've hoped for. Formerly titled Grand Death Lotto, the film takes place in a near-future California where a Grand Lottery offers citizens the chance to win billions with the catch that anyone who can kill them before sundown gets their prize instead.
The trailer shows Katie's attempts at finding stardom in Los Angeles as an aspiring actress. When she goes in for an audition, however, she gets the surprise of a lifetime when she notices her electronic lottery ticket declaring her the winner. Unaware of how the system works, she quickly receives a crash course when everyone, from the actresses auditioning alongside her to random people on the street, turns on her with murderous intent.
Noel isn't the only one trying to collect Katie's money, however. Awkwafina's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings colleague Simu Liu also stars in the film as Louis Lewis, the man behind the biggest lottery protection agency in the country with whom Noel begrudgingly calls in a favor when things get dicey.
'Jackpot!' Features a Fun Cast and Team at the Helm Rounding out the star-studded cast for Jackpot! are Seann William Scott, Ayden Mayeri, Donald Elise Watkins, Dolly de Leon, Michael Hitchcock, Leslie David Baker, Becky Ann Baker, Sam Asghari, Adam Ray, Murray Hill, Taylor Ortega, and Holmes. Feig, who is known for directing and producing fun comedic features like Bridesmaids and The Heat, directs from a script penned by video game regular and Outside the Wire writer Ryan Yescombe.
