'Good Fortune' trailer: Keanu Reeves is Aziz Ansari's guardian angel
July 23 (UPI) -- Lionsgate is previewing Good Fortune, a new comedy starring Keanu Reeves as 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. Sandra Oh turns 54: a look back

Disney Sets ‘Rental Family' & ‘Psycho Killer' Release Dates
Disney has shared its latest release schedule, which includes two of its hotly anticipated motion pictures. On Thursday, Walt Disney Studios announced that Searchlight Pictures' Rental Family will premiere November 21, while 20th Century Fox's Psycho Killer will debut on February 20, 2026. More from Deadline 'Shōgun's Takehiro Hira And Akira Emoto Join Brendan Fraser's 'Rental Family' At Searchlight 'Psycho Killer': James Preston Rogers Latest To Join New Regency's Horror-Thriller 'Love Island' Lands On Disney+ UK Under Landmark Content Swap Deal With ITV Which Will See 'The Bear' Head To ITVX Rental Family, which filmed last spring in Japan, stars Brendan Fraser as a lonely, down-and-out American actor living in Tokyo. He starts working for a Japanese 'rental family' company to play various stand-in roles in other people's lives. Along the way, he forges some surprising human connections and discovers unexpected joys within his built-in family. Marking Fraser's first starring role since his Oscar-winning performance in Darren Aronofsky's The Whale (2022), the actor said at Deadline's Red Sea Studio, 'I couldn't resist making this film for the opportunity to work there and to also blaze a trail. I think more and more productions are likely going start working their way towards shooting in Japan, considering there's the production value.' Directed by Hikari from a script she wrote with Stephen Blahut, Rental Family also stars Mari Yamamoto. In Psycho Killer, written by Andrew Kevin Walker and directed by Gavin Polone, police officer Jane Thorne (Georgina Campbell) makes it her mission to take down a serial killer referred to on the news as the 'Satanic Slasher', following the murder of her state trooper husband (Logan Miller). The horror-thriller that filmed in 2023 also stars James Preston Rogers. Best of Deadline 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
