Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake said they moved quickly to land the rights for this project once it became available after being impressed by the A-list talent involved.

“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,” reads Drake’s statement.

The storyline is being kept under wraps, but we’ll probably learn more before Good Fortune starts shooting in LA next month. It will mark Aziz Ansari’s feature film debut, after his previous attempt at directing, Being Mortal starring Bill Murray and Keke Palmer, was canceled by Searchlight back in February.

Reeves and Lionsgate go a way back, and he currently stars in their box office hit John Wick: Chapter 4. As for Rogen, he most recently voiced Donkey Kong in The Super Mario Bros. and we’ll soon get to see him in Craig Gillespie’s Dumb Money and Apple TV+ series Platonic.

Created by Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, Masters of None premiered in 2015 and Season 2 debuted in 2017. It’s been four years since a new season.

The show stars Ansari and Dev, a first-generation American who makes a living acting in commercials. Lena Waithe, who played Denise, will be returning for Season 3.

The show has picked up a couple of awards including an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for Season 2 episode “Thanksgiving”, an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in the first season, and Ansari won a Golden Globe for Best Actor.

Ansari told Vulture in 2017 that he wanted to continue the show.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if I needed a looonng break before I could come back to it. I’ve got to become a different guy before I write a third season, is my personal thought. I’ve got to get married or have a kid or something. I don’t have anything else to say about being a young guy being single in New York eating food around town all the time.”
