Based on it’s logline – ““Kill the winner before sundown and you can legally claim their prize” – Grand Death Lotto is going to be a high-stakes movie.

According to Variety, it is set in California and finds financially strapped contestants playing a game called the “Grand Lottery.”

Awkwafina and John will team up in the movie after the former wins the lottery. He provides protection, and Simu has been described as John‘s competitor. All three are hoping to emerge victorious.

The movie goes into production early this month. A release date has yet to be announced.

“I love action comedy and extreme physical comedy and this movie has both in abundance, as well as a boatload of heart and hilarity,” Paul promised of the upcoming release.
