'Good Fortune' trailer: Keanu Reeves is Aziz Ansari's guardian angel
The trailer released Wednesday shows the angel Gabriel (Reeves) introducing himself to Ansari's character, Arj.
"I know all about you. I know you lost your job, I know you're living in your car," Gabriel says. "I'm not really supposed to be doing this. I'm normally only in charge of saving people from texting and driving."
"Wait you're telling me I have a budget guardian angel?" a bewildered Arj responds.
"Kinda."
Arj works for Seth Rogen's Jeff, who is very wealthy and represents a stark contrast to Ansari's life.
Gabriel arranges for the pair to switch lives and chaos ensues.
Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh also star in the film, which will premiere at the 50th annual Toronto International Film Festival. The festival runs between Sept. 4 and 14, and will also feature premieres of such films as Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Rental Family and The Lost Bus.
Ansari wrote the script for Good Fortune and directs.

From ‘South Park' to George Lucas' First Comic-Con: Inside the Most Anticipated Panels
Usually, not having a Marvel Studios panel signals a less than exciting convention. There's less rock-star energy and less hyped-up news (like last year's Robert Downey Jr. reveal as Doctor Doom). But even with Marvel sitting out this year's Comic-Con, the lineup is still surprisingly robust. (The below presentations all will appear in Hall H.) South Park (July 24, 6:45 p.m.) Creators Trey Stone and Matt Parker don't mince words, and with the panel coming amid their $3 billion battle over the future of South Park, fans are hoping for some grousing about Skydance, the presumptive soon-to-be owner of Paramount they have blamed for holding up season 27. More from The Hollywood Reporter George Lucas Heading to Comic-Con for First Time Ever Comic-Con: Fashion Brand Her Universe Partners With Universal Pictures for 'Wicked'-Themed Geek Couture Competition (Exclusive) Joe Russo Says Robert Downey Jr. Is Researching and "Writing Backstory" for Doctor Doom Role: "He Is So Dialed In" The Long Walk (July 25, 3 p.m.) The stacked cast of up-and- comers, including Cooper Hoffman and Alien: Romulus breakout David Jonsson, could make it The Outsiders of this generation. But the real reason to attend is to see how Lionsgate will position the film, which has subject matter so controversial — a contest in which men must walk at least 4 miles an hour or be shot — that New Line gave up the rights to the Stephen King novel several years ago. Alien: Earth (July 25, 1:25 p.m.); Predator: Badlands (July 25, 4:15 p.m.) After years of being considered second-rate properties, both are back on the upswing thanks to the 2022 Hulu hit Prey and last year's Alien: Romulus. Now, Predator returns to Hall H with Prey director Dan Trachtenberg's next venture, while Alien has the splashy Noah Hawley show. Parent company Disney is all over the con, bringing Jared Leto's Tron: Ares to Hall H at 5:30 p.m. July 25. Star Trek Universe (July 26, 12:30 p.m.) Paramount+ brings the original geek property for its customary blockbuster 90-minute panel featuring the upcoming Starfleet Academy live-action series and the fan favorite Strange New Worlds. It could be particularly poignant as that series was recently revealed to be ending. Project Hail Mary (July 26, 2:15 p.m.) Ryan Gosling returns to Comic-Con for the first time in nearly a decade, this time bringing his big-swing sci-fi epic. The movie also marks Spider-Verse favorites Phil Lord and Chris Miller's first directorial effort since 2014. Peacemaker (July 26, 3:30 p.m.) James Gunn arrives for a Superman victory lap to preview season two of his series. George Lucas (July 27, 11 a.m.) The Star Wars mastermind, shockingly, has never been to the con. That changes this year when he's joined by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and Star Wars prequels production designer Doug Chiang for a sneak peek at the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

Look: Nick Hogan pays tribute to late dad and 'best friend' Hulk Hogan
July 27 (UPI) -- Nick Hogan is paying tribute to his dad, the wrestler and media star Hulk Hogan, who died Thursday at the age of 71. "Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and comforted me over the last few days. It truly means a lot. I'm sorry to everyone I have not responded to yet. This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult," Hogan wrote on Instagram Saturday. "Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting. My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world. He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend." Addressing his father directly, he added: "Thank you for being my best friend. I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever." The elder Hogan -- whose real name was Terry Bollea -- died at his Florida home at the age of 71. In addition to his career inside the WWE ring, Hogan starred in the reality shows Hogan Knows Best, American Gladiators and Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. His film credits include Rocky III, No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando, Mr. Nanny and Spy Hard.
