Are you tired of actors, singers, and influencers messing up and then posting some fake apology video with crocodile tears in their eyes? Then, the new movie by Jonah Hill might be just the one for you. In Outcome, the actor-turned-director tells the story of Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves), a beloved Hollywood actor revered by everyone in the audience and the industry, who’s suddenly blackmailed by someone in possession of a mysterious video that’s sure to shatter his public image. Navigating this complicated time, he’s joined by his long-time BFFs, Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), and lawyer, Ira (Jonah Hill). Sounds incredible, doesn’t it?
In this new dark comedy produced by Apple TV, the main character not only confronts what the public eye might think of him, but more importantly, has to embark on a sort of spiritually cleansing trip down memory lane to ask for true forgiveness and find out who it is that hates him — plot twist: (almost) everyone. In this soul-searching journey, he aims to make amends with anyone he could’ve possibly wronged in hopes of identifying the blackmailer. And that includes a looong list of people, from employees to fellow actors or directors, relatives, and friends, embodied by a varied cast of people including Susan Lucci, Martin Scorsese, Laverne Cox, Ivy Wolk, Drew Barrymore, Atsuko Okatsuka, and Roy Wood Jr., to name a few.
