Back in June, we let you know about a twisted little comedy-thriller called LUCKY, which was being prepped by Ten/Four Productions. Now, after a couple of quiet months, LUCKY is ready to shoot, with it’s newly announced cast.

Colin Hanks (pictured right), Ari Graynor (pictured below), Ann-Margret and Jeffrey Tambor are all starring in the indie flick, which is being directed by Gil Cates Jr. (son of famed Academy Award producer Gilbert Cates). The screenplay was written by “Saturday Night Live” writer Kent Sublette and centers on a fledgling serial killer who wins the lottery and attempts to pursue his lifelong crush.
