About Reeves's injury[edit]
Mr. User:MikeAllen seems to be unconvinced that Keanu Reeves being injured during principal photography is relevant to the film, or rather convinced they are irrelevant. I beg to disagree -- Here's why
- The incident in question had enough media attention during the event to justify being notable
- The injury had an effect on principal photography of the film, resulting in several scenes being delayed solely due to the injury
- Months after the fact, trusted source The Hollywood Reporter wrote a headline article for the events months after the fact, with the director Aziz Ansari even addressing these events directly in the interview.
Mr. Allen seems to have removed these edits based on his opinion that since the "edits were made by a blocked user" (something along those lines) they must not be correct, and while blocked users are assumedly blocked for a good reason, the edits they make cannot be automatically considered as useless or unjustified. That would undermine the entire concept of Wikipedia and its viability. 72.49.224.146 (talk) 00:17, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- I did not remove that he was injured on set. I removed this:
On January 25, Reeves was spotted on set with crutches and an ice pack on his left knee. At the time, it was unclear if the medical paraphernalia was worn as either part of his role or for the treatment of an actual on-set injury. Nonetheless, the viral images of Reeves posted online prompted worried reactions from fans, causing the hashtag #GetWellSoonKeanu to trend on Twitter. Days later, Reeves was seen standing on set without assistance.

- Bold claims like these should have addtl. context. whenever production-impacting injuries/deaths occur. maybe rw to "media attention" based on how THR reports 2600:2B00:962E:3E00:ED3A:C271:46A:5123 (talk) 02:11, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Roman Reigns[edit]
According to the unreliable source an IP added here about Roman Reigns being in the film: "According to IMDB, Reigns is involved in a film titled Good Fortune, featuring a star-studded cast including Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Sandra Oh, and others. Directed by Aziz Ansari, the film promises to be an action comedy, although specifics about the plot are yet to be disclosed." We never use IMDb as a source, see WP:IMDB. Also, the error was apparently fixed because he is no longer listed. This is why we do not use IMDb as a source. If we do get a reliable source that states he is part of the film, then it should be included. As of this post, it is just blogs guessing. Mike Allen 20:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
