Lionsgate has released the first official trailer for its upcoming comedy Good Luck, featuring a star-studded cast including Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, and Aziz Ansari. The film marks a fresh addition to the body-swap comedy genre, blending heartfelt themes with humor and supernatural elements.
The story follows Gabriel (Keanu Reeves), an angel who has lost his sense of purpose and is struggling to find meaning in his eternal existence. Determined to redeem at least one soul, he sets his sights on Arja (Agari), a down-to-earth manager whose life is driven by material success and pragmatism. In a bid to prove his worth, Gabriel swaps bodies with Jeff (Seth Rogen), a charismatic businessman. However, the plan quickly unravels when Arja, inhabiting Gabriel’s body, begins to enjoy his new affluent lifestyle, complicating Gabriel’s mission.
Aziz Ansari, widely recognized for his sharp comedic talent, makes his directorial debut with Good Luck. He not only directs but also co-writes the screenplay and stars as Jeff, bringing his unique blend of humor and insight to the film. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ansari expressed his enthusiasm about returning R-rated comedies to the big screen, highlighting the genre’s potential to mix irreverent humor with meaningful storytelling.
The film’s ensemble cast is further strengthened by Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer, both of whom play angelic colleagues who interact closely with Gabriel, adding depth and warmth to the celestial side of the story. Their performances contribute to the film’s balance of comedy and emotional resonance.
Produced by Lionsgate, Good Luck aims to stand out in a crowded comedy market by combining familiar body-swap tropes with fresh cultural commentary and strong performances. The film is scheduled for release on October 17, promising audiences a blend of laughs, heart, and thought-provoking themes about purpose, identity, and what truly matters in life.
Fans and moviegoers can look forward to a unique take on the classic body-swap narrative, with Good Luck poised to be one of the notable comedy releases this fall.
