Our Chris Bumbray acquired to report on a extra story-revealing trailer proven at final yr’s CinemaCon. Bumbray reported, “Ansari is a broke guy who goes to work for a rich asshole, played by Rogen. Reeves plays an angel! Even has wings. He’s a f*ck-up angel who wants to save Ansari from killing himself. So what he does is he swaps Ansari and Rogen’s lives. But, Reeves thinks Ansari will realize ‘wealth won’t solve his problems’ but Ansari loves being rich and won’t go back to where he was before. The idea backfires so much it costs Reeves his wings, so now the three guys, Rogen, Ansari and Reeves are all stuck together. Looks hilarious and might become a HUGE hit. Reeves is really hilarious in it.” After the trailer was proven, Ansari took the stage. He mentioned he “hates that comedies are not going to theaters. So he needed to show you might make a giant comedy with stars that shall be hit. He needed it to be within the vein of huge comedies like Anchorman and 40 12 months Previous Virgin. Keanu – the person Chad Stahelski couldn’t break whereas making the John Wick motion pictures – truly broke his knee by tripping on a run in his dressing room. He did the entire film with a damaged knee however you may’t inform. He needed to do every little thing and simply plowed via.“
“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,” mentioned Lionsgate Movement Image Group Chair Joe Drake.
