Lionsgate has dropped the official trailer and new images for Good Fortune, a bold comedy from writer-director Aziz Ansari that blends heart, humor, and divine missteps. Set to hit theaters exclusively on October 17, the film features an all-star cast led by Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh, and Keanu Reeves—yes, as an angel.
A Wildly Original Comedy with a Celestial Twist
Good Fortune follows Gabriel (Reeves), an angel with great intentions and terrible instincts. After getting too involved in the lives of two very different humans—a struggling gig worker played by Aziz Ansari and a wealthy venture capitalist played by Seth Rogen—Gabriel’s attempt to steer fate goes hilariously off course. What unfolds is a fast-paced collision of worlds where privilege, poverty, and purpose all intertwine in unexpected and deeply human ways.

It’s a Garam Films / Keep Your Head / Yang Pictures production in association with Media Capital Technologies.

With a cast that includes Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh, and Keanu Reeves in a role unlike anything he’s played before, Good Fortune is poised to deliver both hilarious moments and deeper commentary on class, identity, and the chaos of modern life. Think divine intervention—just not the kind anyone prayed for.
