When we talk of Keanu Reeves or Seth Rogen, everyone believes them to be long-term stars in the film world, but this October would tell something else than the usual routine. Topnotch actors appear in one project, thereby making the project of huge interest, especially since you will want to keep on following that movie called Good Fortune-that’s essentially three guys combined: Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, and Aziz Ansari with quite unique roles that they will create for themselves this time. Besides Keanu Reeves, who will play the role of Gabriel, an angel incapable of bringing good fortune, two other main actors haven’t stopped creating impressions as well.
One of the reasons why Good Fortune is interesting is not only because of the combination of famous actors but also because of the deep story in the form of a comedy with high humanity. The movie is based on the story of Gabriel, played by Keanu Reeves, an angel who wishes good for humans but does not have the ability to bring good fortune as intended, reflecting the struggles of human life that are difficult to control, despite the good intentions of the main character.
The movie can bring together comedy and serious issues in such a way that there is creation of a dimension in terms of entertaining content and at the same time in relation to reflecting some perspectives most people may never have considered. That is what makes the film appealing in its own right.

Another reason Good Fortune is something interesting is that Aziz Ansari is making his feature film debut and also pens the screenplay for the picture, having previously directed for the Netflix series Master of None, which was very critically acclaimed. He gets to enjoy the thrill of stepping behind the camera for a picture.
While it would be a challenge for Ansari to handle the movie, both directing and writing it, having big stars like Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen could ease the whole process for him. Bringing his experience in writing a TV series into the screenplay makes this movie very interesting because he has learned to tell funny as well as serious stories.
That is because aside from a film’s big-name cast, there is also eagerness to know what this would bring to the world of films. Maybe it is because this genre of film sports unique character portrayals that viewers haven’t really seen often in films. Keanu Reeves’ Gabriel is most unpredictable. It would be an interesting twist if he played an angel who cannot be helped by luck, especially since most people are accustomed to seeing him play the role of more heroic or physically strong characters.
Then again, we cannot forget Seth Rogen’s ability to have fun through his portrayal of a character who is divided between wealth and hardship in life. It is no different from guaranteeing that we will see a performance full of charm and challenge by having all three actors come together in the same project.
Lastly, while Good Fortune has a clear release date of October 17, the postponement of the release date of the Michael Jackson biopic by two weeks is interesting because it creates a new period for fans of both projects. The delay in the release of the Michael Jackson film would surely make Good Fortune a lot more intriguing at that time. In this sense, the movie can have a wider audience not only from fans of Keanu Reeves or Seth Rogen but viewers who love a movie dealing with themes like fate and mistakes in life.
