Any time Keanu Reeves seems in a film, the world is a better place. Reeves is just a kind of actors who makes each single one in all us blissful anytime they’re on display screen. And, frankly, he can do all of it. He can be a goof, like in Invoice & Ted. He can be a badass, like The Matrix and John Wick. Or he may be critical, like in Bram Stoker’s Dracula or My Personal Personal Idaho. We’ll subsequent see him in Ballerina after which Reeves stars in Good Fortune, a very unique turn for the actor who performs a down on his luck angel.
The primary trailer for Good Fortune was simply launched, and it appears nice. Reeves performs a tragic sack angel, hoping to seek out his goal within the afterlife. Girls discover him extraordinarily engaging. He dances. It’s teaser. And higher but, it doesn’t present an inkling of what this movie is actually about. Right here, watch this after which learn on.
Good Fortune, written and directed by comic Aziz Ansari, will not be solely a couple of unhappy angel. It’s truly about that angel attempting to do one thing good and actually screwing up. The movie, which comes from Lionsgate, has been a part of that firm’s presentation at CinemaCon the previous two years and we’ve detailed it on the site. Mainly, Reeves’ character switches the lives of the characters performed by Ansari and Rogen. Rogen is wealthy, and Ansari will not be. Reeves’ angel, Gabriel, hopes that exhibiting how the opposite half lives will make them each extra appreciative of what they’ve. And whereas that works for Rogen, it doesn’t work for Ansari. He likes being wealthy and doesn’t need to swap again.
Absolutely that’ll be within the subsequent trailer launched for the movie, however we sort of love that it’s not in right here in any respect. As a substitute, the advertising and marketing workforce went, “Effectively, we’ve acquired Keanu Reeves as an angel. That’s cool. Let’s give attention to that to get the dialog began.” Mission completed.
Co-starring Kiki Palmer and Sandra Oh, Good Fortune opens October 17.
