Actor Awkwafina is set to headline an upcoming movie based on the life of Cheung Yin "Kelly" Sun, one of the most successful female gambler in modern history.
The Golden Globe-winning actor will team up with SK Global, the studio that produced her breakout movie "Crazy Rich Asians".
Tentatively titled "The Baccarat Machine", the film is inspired by Las Vegas insider Michael Kaplan's article of the same name, reported Collider. Andy Bellin is penning the script.
It tells the story of "a young Chinese woman who turns a painstakingly developed talent and obsession for payback into beating the system at their own game."
