Apple TV has dropped a handful of first-look images from Outcome, a new dark comedy starring Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill, with the latter looking almost unrecognizable. With a shaved head and a thick gray beard, this certainly isn’t the Hill we’ve become accustomed to for all these years. Also, I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve seen Reeves sporting shorter hair.

All About Outcome
The film follows “Reef Hawk (Reeves), a beloved Hollywood star who must dive into the depths of his hidden demons after he is extorted with a mysterious video that’s sure to shatter his image and end his career. With the support of his lifelong friends Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), along with his crisis lawyer Ira (Hill), Reef embarks on a soul-searching journey to make amends with anyone he could have possibly wronged in hopes of identifying the blackmailer.“
In addition to appearing in the movie, Hill also directed and co-wrote the script with Ezra Woods. This marks his third film as director, following 2018’s Mid90s and the 2022 documentary Stutz. It’s also his first time in front of the camera since 2023’s You People. During press day for Outcome, Hill teased that the film is “a metaphor for what we all go through living on social media. Social media has made us obsessed what people we don’t know think of us, instead of caring about what the people who know us best think of us.“
In addition to Reeves, Diaz, Bomer, and Hill, the film also stars Martin Scorsese, Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, Atsuko Okatsuka, Roy Wood Jr., Kaia Gerber, and Ivy Wolk. An interesting mix of actors to be sure, and I’m curious to see what Hill has cooked up with this one. His debut, Mid90s, was a very low-key story, but I dug it, and it felt like the start of something promising.
Outcome started shooting close to two years ago, but it’s been delayed again and again. Apple TV has finally set a release date for the film, which will be available on the streaming service on April 10.
