‘Grand Death Lotto’: Ayden Mayeri, Seann William Scott, Dolly De Leon & Donald Elise Watkins Join Amazon Action-Comedy
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Amazon Studios has begun setting the supporting cast for its Paul Feig-helmed action-comedy Grand Death Lotto, with Ayden Mayeri (Somebody I Used to Know), Seann William Scott (Welcome to Flatch), Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness) and Donald Elise Watkins (Project Artemis) signing on for roles.
John Cena, Awkwafina and Simu Liu lead the ensemble of the pic now in production, as previously announced. The Amazon Original Movie is set in a very near future, in which a Grand Lottery has been established in economically challenged California.
The only catch? You’ll need to kill the winner before sundown in order to legally claim their prize. New L.A. 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.
No word yet on the roles to be played by our four new cast members. But Rob Yescombe (Outside the Wire) penned the script. Roth/Kirschenbaum Films’ Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum are producing alongside Feigco Entertainment’s Laura Fischer and Feig, with Cena, Zack Roth and Yescombe serving as exec producers.
