Apple Original Films is set to launch on April 10, Jonah Hill's upcoming dark comedy "Outcome." It stars Keanu Reeves, Jonah Hill, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, Martin Scorsese, Atsuko Okatsuka, Roy Wood, Jr., Welker White, Kaia Gerber and Ivy Wolk.
"Outcome" is a dark comedy that centers on 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 besties Kyle (Diaz) and Xander (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.
Co-writer and director Hill brings a unique lens to Reef's wild but spiritually cleansing, nostalgic and eye-opening trip down memory lane, where confronting his past might be the only way to rescue his future.
Directed by Jonah Hill, the Apple Original Film "Outcome" is written by Hill and Ezra Woods, produced by Matt Dines, Alison Goodwin and Hill under their Strong Baby banner, with Adam Merims serving as executive producer.

MATT DILLON TO STAR IN MGM+'S NEW DRAMA SERIES "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN"
The premium linear channel and streaming service MGM+ has announced that Matt Dillon ("Crash") will star in the upcoming eight-episode drama series "The Magnificent Seven," a reimagining of the classic 1960 Western film.
Production is targeted to begin in June 2026 in Calgary. Dillon, who also serves as an executive producer, will reprise the iconic role of Chris Adams, originally played by Yul Brynner, who becomes the leader of seven gunslingers who sign onto the task of protecting a group of innocent villagers from a mercenary land baron hellbent on stealing their land.
Stoic, steady under pressure, and with an unflinching gaze that does most of the talking for him, Chris has no patience for hypocrisy or cruelty and holds fast to a quiet moral code rooted in fairness and restraint.
The series is written and executive produced by Tim Kring ("Heroes," "Touch," "Dig," and "Crossing Jordan"), alongside executive producers Donald De Line ("Billy the Kid," "Wayward Pines"), Lawrence Mirisch, Bruce Kaufman and Dillon. Casting by Seth Yanklewitz. MGM+ Studios and MGM Television Studios are producing.
Set in the tumultuous 1880s American frontier, "The Magnificent Seven" follows seven gifted but flawed mercenaries hired to protect a peaceful Quaker village after it is massacred by mercenaries working for a ruthless land baron trying to seize their land.
As the team embeds itself and prepares to defend against overwhelming odds, they grapple with a central question: is violence acceptable to defend people whose faith is based on non-violence? The series explores the backstories of each of the Seven, what's at stake for them, and why they choose this mission--delving into themes of honor, sacrifice, redemption, morality, and faith.
The series will be available on MGM+ in the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
"Matt Dillon brings extraordinary depth and gravitas to this iconic role," said Michael Wright, global head of MGM+. "His ability to portray complex, morally conflicted characters makes him the perfect choice to lead our reimagining of "The Magnificent Seven." This series honors the legacy of the original film while exploring timeless themes about courage, redemption, and standing up against oppression, and Matt's performance will be at the heart of that story."
