- Keanu Reeves plays Reef Hawk in 'Outcome,' a dark comedy directed by Jonah Hill for Apple TV, streaming April 10, in which Reef is a four-decade movie star mounting a comeback after a five-year hiatus spent battling heroin addiction.
- Reef's comeback is derailed when his lawyer Ira (Hill) learns of a compromising video that could destroy his reputation, prompting a crisis PR plan that requires Reef to apologize to everyone he's wronged.
- The apology tour includes a cameo by Martin Scorsese among those Reef must face, part of an ensemble cast that also features Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, Atsuko Okatsuka, Roy Wood Jr., Welker White, Kaia Gerber, and Ivy Wolk.
- Hill co-wrote 'Outcome' with Ezra Woods — the same duo behind Hill's other upcoming film 'Cut Off,' scheduled for July 17 release via Warner Bros. — and also produces 'Outcome.'
- 'Outcome' marks Hill's sophomore directorial feature after his 2018 debut 'Mid '90s' and his first on-screen appearance since co-writing and starring in the 2023 Netflix film 'You People.'
Why it matters: The April 10 Apple TV debut gives Hill his first directorial follow-up in seven years and marks a notable reunion for Reeves, who is leaning into an anti-nice-guy persona opposite a stacked ensemble. With Hill writing, directing, producing, and acting in the film, 'Outcome' is positioned as a personal showcase for a filmmaker whose on-screen work has been quiet since 2023.
