Amazon Studios has picked up the rights to the action comedy script package “Shelly” which will star “Jumanji: The Next Level” co-stars Karen Gillan (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) and Awkwafina (“The Farewell”).
The story takes place a decade after an embarrassing prom prank ran Shelly Wheeler (Awkwafina) out of town and so hardened her heart that she became an ice-cold hit-woman.
Revenge threatens to be sweet when she learns her next target is her former high school tormentor, Dianna Park (Gillan). But when Dianna unexpectedly befriends Shelly, the assassin finds herself in with the cool crowd, protecting her old nemesis against another hit crew hired to kill them both.
Michael Doneger (“Couples Therapy”) and Liz Storm (“Boomtown”) penned the script with the film directed by Jude Weng (“The Good Place”). Will McCance serves as executive producer.
