The First Teaser for Keanu Reeves’ ‘Good Fortune’ Appears to be like Nice and Reveals Nothing

Any time Keanu Reeves seems in a film, the world is a better place. Reeves is just a type of actors who makes each single one in all us pleased anytime they’re on display. 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 might be critical, like in Bram Stoker’s Dracula or My Personal Non-public 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 seems nice. Reeves performs a tragic sack angel, hoping to seek out his function within the afterlife. Ladies discover him extraordinarily engaging. He dances. It’s a superb 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, just isn’t solely a couple of unhappy angel. It’s really about that angel making an attempt 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 just isn’t. 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 an alternative, the advertising staff went, “Properly, we’ve bought Keanu Reeves as an angel. That’s cool. Let’s give attention to that to get the dialog began.” Mission achieved.

Co-starring Kiki Palmer and Sandra Oh, Good Fortune opens October 17.
