In the making of Aziz Ansari's directorial debut, things definitely didn't go as planned. The film, titled Being Mortal (based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Atul Gawande), went into production in March 2022, but filming was halted a few weeks in due to the investigation of a complaint against star Bill Murray. In the following months, Murray spoke out about the controversy, but it was announced by Searchlight Pictures earlier this year that the movie was cancelled. This was obviously a big career blow to Ansari, but he's now set to get back up on the metaphorical horse – set to helm a brand new project that has Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves attached to play leading roles.
According to Variety, the new comedy is titled Good Fortune... though that is presently pretty much all we know about it, as plot details are being kept a secret. Ansari is set to wear many hats in the making of the movie, as he will not only be directing, but also writing the script and co-starring. As you probably could have guessed, there isn't any information available about the roles that Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves will be playing.
