Actresses Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians, The Farewell) and Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy) previously starred in Jumanji: The Next Level together and are now teaming back up for a new action-comedy titled Shelly. Jude Weng (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Fresh Off the Boat) is directing from a script by Michael Doneger (The Escort) and Liz Storm (Tall Tales).

Here’s the synopsis for the film that is described as Mean Girls meets Barry:

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.

This sounds like a fun and hilarious project for both of these talented actresses. I’ll definitely be excited to check it out. How about you?
