Sounding a little like a weird spin on The Purge, Prime Video's new action comedy Grand Death Lotto will see a Shang-Chi reunion for Simu Liu and Awkwafina, who are starring with John Cena.

Paul Feig is directing the new film from a script by Rob Yescombe. Here's your official synopsis: "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 (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 (Liu), who also wants to get her to sundown in order to claim his rich protection commission."

“I love action comedy and extreme physical comedy and this movie has both in abundance, as well as a boatload of heart and hilarity,” saus Feig. “This lotto will make winners of us all.”

Filming on this one kicks off next week.
