Paul Feig Interview: Jackpot!, A Simple Favor 2, The Office, and More
Known for making comfort watches like Bridesmaids and Freaks and Geeks, Paul Feig’s comedic timing is undeniable, and he hopes to win the lottery with his next big bet, Jackpot!. The film, originally entitled Grand Death Lotto, follows Katie (Awkwafina) in a futuristic California, doing her best to remain alive after winning a lottery ticket. Although the million-dollar prize is a welcoming surprise, it also comes at a cost. As the recipient, she becomes the target of anyone willing to kill her by sunrise in order to get access to the money.
The action comedy, which also stars Simu Liu and John Cena, will arrive on Prime Video in August. Ahead of the film’s streaming release, Feig had a sit-down conversation with Collider’s own Steve Weintraub at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con to talk about it, as well as the other exciting projects the director is currently working on.
During the interview, Feig reminisced on his pleasant experience directing episodes of The Office, his initial judgment of Jackpot! before he was captivated by the script, why the film is the closest he has ever been to making a Jackie Chan-type movie, as well as updates on the A Simple Favor sequel and the upcoming Blumhouse film based on Netflix’s Worst Roommate Ever.
