Keanu Reeves Plays an Angel in Funny Trailer for Aziz Ansari's Comedy GOOD FORTUNE with Seth Rogen — GeekTyrant
Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Good Fortune , which marks the directirial debut of Aziz Ansari, who also wrote and produced the movie. It looks pretty funny!
Keanu Reeves stars in the film as an angel named Gabriel. He's a well-meaning but inept angel who meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist, who's played by Seth Rogen. Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer also star.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake previously said in a statement: 'We have indeed found good fortune with this film. We love the script and believe strongly in Aziz as both a performer and a director.
'And when you add in Seth and Keanu – two incredible world-class talents — toplining alongside Aziz, this has the potential to be a very special film for us. We moved quickly to land this project once it was available.'
I love that Reeves is jumping into a comedy again. We mostly see him in action films these days, so seeing him take on the role of a budget angel is a lot of fun!
The movie hits theaters on October 17th, 2025.

New Penn Med center in Philadelphia aims to help people with Williams syndrome, develop better treatments
A new specialty center opened Tuesday at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. It's one of the first in the country to help children and adults with Williams syndrome, a rare condition that makes them extra friendly. "This center is going to be life-changing for families," said Jocelyn Krebs, director of the Armellino Center of Excellence for Williams Syndrome. For Krebs, this work is personal. She researched the disorder for decades and then had a child born with the condition, which she calls "an insane coincidence." "Suddenly I went from a scientist who understood Williams syndrome very deeply in one way to a mom trying to figure out, what do you do with a kid that has these various challenges?" Krebs said. The center includes a sensory room with different lights and playful distractions to ease anxiety, which is common for people with Williams syndrome. Krebs' son Rhys has intellectual disabilities, a primary symptom of Williams syndrome. In collaboration with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the center will provide comprehensive care and research for adults and children with Williams syndrome, which often comes with severe heart problems and social challenges. "A behavior that is very characteristic of Williams syndrome, sometimes called the cocktail party syndrome because of it … is this incredible friendliness, hypersociability," Krebs said. "And what it really is is just a completely uninhibited social approach." With the right kinds of early intervention, people with Williams are able to thrive. This center will help assure that can happen and look for better treatments and new hope for brighter futures. An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States have Williams syndrome, which is diagnosed with genetic testing. Learn more about the center on Penn Medicine's website.

DNC taco truck stunt trolling Trump backfires on social media with Vance, GOP: 'Can't fix stupid'
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) parked a custom-wrapped food truck in front of the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., in an effort to troll President Trump over his tariff policies. The stunt received widespread mockery from conservatives. The DNC used the acronym TACO for "Trump Always Chickens Out" to provoke Trump's ire. The phrase was coined by Wall Street analysts when referring to Trump's tariff policies, suggesting Trump will walk back the steep reciprocal tariffs he announced in April. "Trump always chickens out. We're just bringing the tacos to match," DNC Chair Ken Martin told Fox News Digital of the effort. The move did not impress conservatives on social media who highlighted it as an example of Democrats struggling with their messaging during Trump's presidency. "The party that brought you the hugely successful 'Dark Brandon' and 'Republicans are Weird' campaigns are now going all in on 'TACO,'" Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross posted on X. "We have the lamest opposition in American history," Vice President JD Vance posted on X. "Democrats are doing what they do best: cheap gimmicks, free handouts, and I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck us with the bill," Western Regional & National Hispanic press secretary Christian Martinez posted on X. In a statement to Fox News Digital, NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella mocked the DNC for parking the truck at a church a block away. "Looks like the Democrats took a break from fighting amongst themselves to stage a pathetic stunt," Marinella said. The most embarrassing part? They couldn't even get the location right. You can't fix stupid." "LMFAO," Zach Parkinson, RNC communications director, told Fox News Digital. "A taco truck? Are they going to be giving out free vasectomies again, too? These people are morons. No wonder Democrats' approval rating is at a historic low." Abhi Rahman, the DNC's deputy communications director, took aim at Vance's X post, telling Fox News Digital Democrats know Vance is the "cringiest VP in American history." "We understand that JD Vance, the cringiest VP in American history who cannot order a donut like a normal human being, prefers to take food away from people, including 40 million Americans whose SNAP benefits were just scrapped in the GOP budget," he said. Earlier this week, conservative commentators took aim at a TikTok posted by Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., in which he is filmed eating a taco in an attempt to mock Trump's tariff strategy, and some declared it "cringeworthy."
