Jump to Summary

Paul Feig's new action-comedy film, "Jackpot!," is set to premiere on Prime Video on August 15. The movie, set in a futuristic 2030 Los Angeles, revolves around Katie Kim, played by Awkwafina, who wins a multibillion-dollar jackpot. The twist is that under California's new Grand Lottery rules, anyone can legally kill the winner before sundown to claim the prize. Katie teams up with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy, portrayed by John Cena, who promises to protect her in exchange for a share of her winnings.

The cast also includes Simu Liu, Ayden Mayeri, Donald Elise Watkins, Murray Hill, and Sam Asghari. Simu Liu plays Louis Lewis, a rival lottery protection agent. The film is directed by Paul Feig and written by Rob Yescombe, with John Cena serving as an executive producer. The trailer for the movie highlights a mix of comedy and action, with a focus on primal survival rather than gun violence. Produced by Feig, Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Laura Fischer, "Jackpot!" aims to blend humor and action in a high-stakes setting.
