Keanu Reeves plays a guardian angel in the first teaser trailer for Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune

Good Fortune is in theaters Oct. 17Keanu Reeves wants to help lost souls find Good Fortune.
The John Wick action star, 60, plays a guardian angel in the first teaser trailer for the comedy, which is written and directed by Aziz Ansari. Good Fortune also stars Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh.
A synopsis says the film follows a "well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel" who "meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Rogen)."
Reeves previously recounted suffering an injury on the set of Good Fortune, telling The Late Show host Stephen Colbert that his knee "cracked like a potato chip" filming with Ansari, 42, and Rogen, 43, in a cold plunge.
'I was loving it, I was standing there, and we finish the scene, and you know when you're cold and you're [shuffling]? I had a bathing suit and a towel, and you put it over your head and you do the cold shuffle?" he recalled in July 2024.

Reeves added, "I'm doing the cold shuffle in this room that had protective carpets down and then, just here, there was like a little pocket, and my foot got caught in the pocket in the shuffle, and then I went [down], but [my knee] didn't follow. And then, in slow motion, I went falling. My arms came out, but then my knee failed because it's got some stuff, and I spiked it. And my patella — kneecap — cracked like a potato chip.'
Ansari told Entertainment Weekly that he hopes Good Fortune marks a return for R-rated comedies to be enjoyed in theaters.
"I feel like people are like, 'Oh, no one goes to comedies and theaters anymore.' It's like, well, they haven't really been making a lot of them, you know what I mean?" he said. "So I hope this movie shows that people do want to see comedies at theaters and that it just leads to people making s---ty ripoffs of Good Fortune."
Reeves told EW of working with the Parks and Recreation alum, 'Aziz is great. A great writer, director, actor. I had such a fantastic experience working with him."

Megyn Kelly slams Beyoncé for including footage of her in 'Cowboy Carter' tour visuals: 'She could play the victim'
Megyn Kelly is having a meltdown over her unexpected inclusion in Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour. The political commentator responded to the Grammy-winning artist splicing footage of one of her on-air interviews into the visuals for the musician's ongoing tour, which blurred Kelly's face and also featured the brief inclusion of other media clips containing commentary about her foray into the country genre. Though Kelly's face is not explicitly recognizable, the former Fox News host slammed the inclusion on Thursday's episode of her eponymous SiriusXM show. "It recently came to my attention that Beyoncé', who's on some world tour right now reinventing herself as a country star, is running videotape during the show of yours truly," Kelly began. The clip in question, Kelly clarified, hailed from her conversation with Sky News Australia last year, in which she mocked the country album and the way it had been marketed as if Beyoncé were "Jesus incarnated" and "here to rescue country music." "She is considered untouchable," Kelly continued. "You're not allowed to rip on her, by the way. You're not allowed to rip on Michelle Obama, either, but we do. Too bad. The more untouchable you tell me somebody is, the more likely I am to want to hit them.' She lamented that the music superstar "had to scour the internet to find anybody who offered any criticism of this move [into country] whatsoever," adding, "Here is another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world, and richest based on her own fortune ... but still has to look for the one sliver where she could play the victim and be aggrieved because big bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milquetoast about her entry into country music.' Kelly then compared the inclusion to her previous spat with George Clooney, who caused great offense when he questioned her career as a journalist last month. Speaking with fellow Broadway star Patti LuPone, Clooney — currently portraying broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck — said at the time, "I'm not quite sure what she has done to be a journalist.' "He's George f---ing Clooney. She's Beyoncé, but they can't take the mildest criticism," Kelly griped. Entertainment Weekly has reached out to Beyoncé's rep for comment. The Cowboy Carter tour kicked off in Los Angeles on April 28 and is set to conclude in Las Vegas on July 26. The music icon recently won the 2025 Grammy for Best Country Album, becoming the first Black woman to do so. She has spoken candidly about not feeling welcome within the country genre despite her Texan roots. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Watch: Keanu Reeves praises Ana de Armas' 'Ballerina' training
May 30 (UPI) -- Lionsgate released a behind-the-scenes video on Ballerina on Friday. The film opens Wednesday in large format screens and June 6 everywhere. Keanu Reeves, who executive produces and reprises his role as John Wick, speaks over footage of Ana de Armas practicing fight choreography. "Ana's a wonderful actress, so talented and there's really not anything she can't do," Reeves says. "To see her shift into her next gear was really cool. She's like, 'Let's go.'" Some of the behind-the-scenes footage shows Reeves and de Armas practicing a knife fight. She plays Eve, a woman training at the Ruska Roma ballet/assassin school that also taught John. "If I am disciplined, I can get there," de Armas says. "I'm actually surprised that I came out of it in one piece." John Wick director Chad Stahelski also produces the spinoff. He speaks over footage of de Armas shooting an enemy while being pushed in a T-boned car. "We have a practical aesthetic that we try to apply," Stahelski said. "We need somebody to actually be performing that so when you have someone like Ana de Armas, the sky's the limit. How far can we push to give you that visceralness?" UPI will present our review of Ballerina and interviews with the cast next week.

Donald Trump says 'nobody's asked' him to pardon Sean Combs yet: 'He used to really like me a lot'
Donald Trump, who once called Sean "Diddy" Combs a "good friend," weighed in on whether he would pardon the embattled record producer should he be convicted in his ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial. "Well, nobody's asked, but I know people are thinking about," the president told an inquiring reporter at the White House on Friday. "I know some people are close to asking. First of all, I'd look at what's happening. And I haven't been watching it too closely, although it's certainly getting a lot of coverage." Trump said he hasn't "seen" or "spoken" to Diddy in years," adding, "He used to really like me a lot. I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up, from what I read. I don't know. He didn't tell me that [personally], but...." He added that he "would certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me." Trump previously praised Diddy as a "good friend" and "good guy" on a 2012 episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, after season 5 contestant Aubrey O'Day, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane, said working under the record producer trained her to be a "very strict, focused businesswoman." When Trump asked O'Day if Diddy was, in fact, a good guy, she notably remarked, "I don't want to answer that question." More than 70 lawsuits have been filed against the Bad Boy Records mogul since November 2023, alleging sexual assault and sex trafficking. His highly publicized federal trial, based on charges that also include racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, began in New York on May 12. Combs, who has denied all of the allegations against him, has pleaded not guilty. He could face life in prison if convicted. Trump has pardoned a number of celebrities since taking office, including rappers Kodak Black and Lil Wayne, both of whom were convicted on federal weapon charges. The president also recently pardoned incarcerated reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022.
