“This is America,” Angus Cloud says at the beginning of the trailer for the upcoming film, Your Lucky Day. “America don’t care how you get yo’ money.”
In the film, the late actor, who died of an accidental overdose in July, plays an enterprising thug who robs a lottery winner in a bodega at gunpoint on Christmas Eve with the hopes of getting his hands on $156 million. A rookie cop and the ticketholder both get shot in the fracas. But things really get interesting when he appears to offer his would-be hostages a cut if they go along with him in a standoff with police. “Nobody ever got rich without doing no crime,” he rationalizes to them.

Later on in the trailer, as the tension mounts in a way that recalls Dog Day Afternoon, Cloud’s character also has to come to terms with a chilling concept (spoken by somebody else): “They don’t arrest cop killers, they execute them.”
The clip ends with a woman threatening to burn the ticket. The only way to find out what happens in the picture, which also stars Elliot Knight and Jessica Garza, is to watch it when it arrives in theaters on Nov. 10 and digital four days later.
The picture was written and directed by Dan Brown, who also made a short called Your Lucky Day in 2010. That 18-minute film, which featured a similar plot, starred Rider Strong. “Movies are for everyone, so the goal was to make a thrilling, fun and entertaining movie that could also be about something deeper — a look at one of those larger-than-life moments that we all hope for and ask, ‘Is this really worth it?'” Brown said in a statement via The Hollywood Reporter.
In addition to Your Lucky Day, Cloud also finished his scenes for The Line, which also features lex Wolff, Austin Abrams, John Malkovich, and Scoot McNairy. He’ll also appear in the upcoming film North Hollywood.
Cloud is best known for playing Fezco, the drug dealer with the heart of gold on Euphoria. “Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor),” the show’s star, Zendaya, wrote on Instagram a day after Cloud’s death. “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I’m smiling now just thinking of it).”
