Keanu Reeves Fractures Kneecap During Filming of 'Good Fortune'

Keanu Reeves ' co-star Aziz Ansari revealed that the 'Matrix' actor fractured his kneecap during the filming of their new movie ' Good Fortune .' On Wednesday, Ansari, 41, who also wrote and directed ' Good Fortune ,' recalled that Reeves, 59, had suffered the injury after an accident in his trailer. 'About, I don't know, 15 days into shooting with me, I was like, 'Hey, just go chill in your dressing room for 15 minutes.' And he tripped on a rug.

Ansari praised Reeves for continuing to film all of his scenes after his injury, telling the CinemaCon audience that the actor was 'such a trouper.' 'He still filmed everything except some scenes where he needed him to do salsa dancing, which we need to pick up,' added Ansari. 'He was like, 'I'll do it!' We're like, 'Keanu, calm down. We'll do the salsa dancing once your knee's healed,'' Ansari recalled.

In addition to Reeves and Ansari, 'Good Fortune' stars Seth Rogen, Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer. The comedy follows a down-on-his-luck gig worker who meets his guardian angel Gabriel in a Denny's parking lot, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Gabriel helps Ansari's character swap lives with his wealthy employer Jeff in an effort to show him that money can't buy happiness.

At the time of the announcement, former Lionsgate motion picture group chair Joe Drake told Deadline, '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,' he continued. '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.

The Matrix 5: What About Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss?The Matrix 5 is on the way, but what about Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss? The two stars led the way in the four previous The Matrix movies, the final of which, The Matrix Resurrections, seemed to give their characters rather definitive endings. Of course, the same could be said for The Matix Revolutions, which killed off Neo and Trinity in its conclusion. Since Reeves and Moss' characters managed to return to this cinematic universe anyway, it certainly seems possible that the same could happen for The Matrix5—but the franchise could go in a whole new direction instead. 1999's The Matrix introduced Reeves' Neo and Moss' Trinity, and the film remains one of the most influential science fiction movies of all time. Of course, their stories didn't end there
