Today it was announced that John Cena, Awkwafina, and Simu Liu are set to star in Prime Video’s action-comedy Grand Death Lotto<\/em><\/strong>, from director Paul Feig. Feig is directing the film from a script penned by Rob Yescombe (Outside the Wire<\/em>).

John Cena, Zack Roth, and Rob Yescombe will executive produce.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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. 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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Amazon Original Movie will be available to stream on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Production begins next week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Grand Death Lotto<\/em> is the kind of original idea audiences have been craving, and there’s no one better than the endlessly talented Paul Feig to steer the ship,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon and MGM Studios. “We can’t wait to watch John Cena, Awkwafina, and Simu Liu bring this fun, action-packed script to life for our Prime Video customers around the world.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“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 director Paul Feig. “This lotto will make winners of us all.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
John Cena recently starred as Peacemaker in the No. 1 HBO Max Original series of the same name. His upcoming credits include the tenth main installment in the Fast & Furious<\/em> franchise Fast X<\/em>, Matthew Vaughn-helmed spy thriller Argylle, Prime Video’s Ricky Stanicky, and the sequel to Vacation Friends.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In television, he is a writer, executive producer, and director of FOX’s Welcome to Flatch<\/em>, which is currently airing its second season, and an executive producer of Minx, which will premiere its second season on Starz later this year.
