Jonah Hill has chosen his next directing endeavour, and he has already secured a major star. According to Deadline, studios are eager to take on the new film Outcome, which is bundled with Keanu Reeves as its leading man. Hill’s production firm, Strong Baby, will be handling the project’s production. Hill also co-wrote the script with author Ezra Woods.
As of publication, neither Hill nor Reeves had responded to the report. The movie’s plot is currently unknown and being kept under wraps, but according to a report from Deadline, the level of interest in the movie is anticipated to be quite strong considering the type of individuals involved. Before the Thanksgiving holiday break, Outcome is anticipated to be released, and according to sources, a number of studios and streaming services have already expressed interest in buying the movie.
With the 2018 film Mid90s, Hill made his debut as a director of a full-length motion picture. The mid-1990s Los Angeles setting of the film, which was based on Hill’s own upbringing, featured a young teenager who starts spending his free time with a gang of largely older skateboarders. That movie was released by A24, received positive reviews, and received an overall score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. The website’s critical consensus stated: “Mid90s tells a clear-eyed yet nostalgic coming-of-age tale that might mark the start of an auspicious new career for debuting writer-director Jonah Hill.” The movie received nominations for prizes at the Independent Spirit Awards and the Berlin International Film Festival.
