Fate Gets Flipped in Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune Trailer Drop

Keanu Reeves trades halos for hijinks in the divine body-swap comedy Good Fortune.

HMU Article: “Good Fortune” Trailer Switches Gears With Divine Comedy Chaos

If you thought yesterday’s character posters for Good Fortune gave you a hint of what to expect… think again.

Today, Lionsgate dropped the official trailer for Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, and it’s clear this film is packing more surprises than the synopsis lets on. A spiritual switcheroo of cosmic proportions, Good Fortune plays like The Prince and the Pauper meets Vice Versa, but with a delightfully twisted angelic detour. Yes, Keanu Reeves is an angel. But not the serene, harp-strumming kind—this is Keanu channeling divine intervention with deadpan confusion and holy chaos.

Aziz Ansari stars as a struggling gig worker whose fate collides with Seth Rogen’s aloof tech bro billionaire, all thanks to Gabriel (Reeves), an overzealous angel trying to climb Heaven’s corporate ladder. Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer round out a powerhouse cast that elevates the comedy with style, sarcasm, and a bit of surrealism.

The new trailer reveals that Good Fortune isn’t just about switching lives—it’s about switching perspectives, privilege, and purpose, all with Ansari’s signature blend of heart and hilarity. With original direction and writing from Ansari himself, and a strong producing team that includes Anthony Katagas and Alan Yang, this one’s shaping up to be more than just a quirky concept—it’s a feel-good chaos bomb with depth.

Also released today: brand-new stills teasing the film’s spiritual set pieces, awkward transformations, and what looks like a very confused Keanu in full angel gear.

🎬 Good Fortune hits theaters October 17th, so mark your calendars for what might be the most underrated and original comedy of the fall.
