ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive Good Fortune clip, previewing the way that director Aziz Ansari and the team behind the movie accomplished the angelic wings that were worn in the movie. Good Fortune is available now to own on digital services and will also be released on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 9.
“The film follows a well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel who observes a struggling gig worker, Arj, who is barely making ends meet in Los Angeles, and intervenes to show him that money can’t solve all his problems. Gabriel swaps Arj’s life with a wealthy venture capitalist, Jeff, but the plan backfires when Arj is convinced his newfound wealth has, in fact, solved all his problems. As Arj refuses to switch back, Jeff is left without his fortune, Gabriel loses his wings, and all three are forced to confront what it truly means to be human,” reads the official synopsis.
