Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill Dark Comedy ‘Outcome’ Lands at Apple
The two A-listers will star in the feature which Hill co-wrote and will direct
Oscar nominee Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves, riding high due the ultra-popular John Wick: Chapter 4, are teaming up for a dark Hollywood story.
Apple Original Films has picked up Outcome, a dark comedy that Hill will direct and has co-written with Ezra Woods.
Reeves is in negotiations to topline the feature, which will also star Hill.
Outcome will star Reeves as Reef, a damaged Hollywood star who must dive into the dark depths of his past to confront his demons and make amends after he is extorted with a mysterious video clip from his past.
Reeves is now enjoying a career zenith. Wick 4 opened to a franchise best $73.5 million at the domestic box office and is also one of Reeves’ career-best openings. The movie now has over a $247 million global tally after just 12 days of release.
Outcome keeps Apple in the Hill business as it continues to stack its movie portfolio with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
Hill and Apple Original Films are developing a Grateful Dead biopic with Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions, to be directed by Scorsese, with Hill starring and producing with Dines and Goodwin under Strong Baby.
Strong Baby most recently produced the Netflix comedy You People starring Hill, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Eddie Murphy and Lauren London.
Hill, best known for his comedies and his Oscar-nominated performance in Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, made his feature directorial debut with 2018’s coming-of-age drama Mid90s. He followed that up with Stutz, 2022’s critically acclaimed documentary that tackled mental health issues.
