\n\tPREVIOUSLY, May 28: Lionsgate has dropped the first trailer for Good Fortune, its new high-concept comedy starring Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, and Aziz Ansari, which marks the feature debut of the latter, as writer-director.<\/p>\n

\n\tSlated for release in theaters on October 17, Good Fortune introduces Reeves as Gabriel, a well-meaning but rather inept angel who decides to intervene in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Rogen).<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the trailer opens, Gabriel is on a rooftop overlooking Los Angeles, speaking with another angel named Martha (Sandra Oh).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMartha, is there any way I can have more meaningful duties?\u201d Gabriel asks. \u201cI want to guide people; I want to change their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMartha tells him that \u201cto save a lost soul, you have to find a lost soul.\u201d But for Gabriel, this doesn\u2019t take long. He discovers one in Ansari\u2019s character, while standing one night atop an L.A. Denny\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n\tGabriel approaches the man, letting him know that he\u2019s an angel \u2014 one who\u2019s \u201cnormally only in charge of saving people from texting and driving,\u201d but is now looking for a more meaningful pasttime.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWait,\u201d Ansari says. \u201cYou\u2019re telling me I have a budget guardian angel?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s the trailer:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso starring Keke Palmer, Good Fortune is produced by Ansari, Anthony Katagas, and Ansari\u2019s longtime collaborator Alan Yang.<\/p>\n

\n\tPreparing for the June 6 release of female-driven John Wick spin-off Ballerina, starring Ana De Armas, Lionsgate\u2019s upcoming slate for the year also includes titles like the crime thriller Americana (August 22), starring Sydney Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser; Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk (September 12); The Strangers \u2014 Chapter 2 (September 26); magic-themed threequel Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t (November 14); and the psychological thriller The Housemaid (December 25), starring Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UPDATED with official trailer: Lionsgate on Wednesday dropped the official trailer for Good Fortune, its comedy written and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,17548,134,17549,17550,18030,344,18031,18032,18033],"class_list":["post-16811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-aziz-ansari","tag-entertainment","tag-good-fortune","tag-keanu-reeves","tag-lionsgate","tag-movies","tag-seth-rogen","tag-tiff","tag-toronto-film-festival"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
