Cameron Diaz is looking to make her comeback to acting a bit more permanent — with Apple Original Films announcing that she’s in final negotiations to star alongside Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves in the upcoming dark comedy “Outcome.”
Directed by Hill from a script he co-wrote with Ezra Woods, “Outcome” will star Reeves as ‘Reef,’ a damaged Hollywood star who must dive into the dark depths of his past to confront his demons and make amends after he is extorted with a mysterious video clip from his past.
Details of Diaz’s role have not been disclosed, but the casting is a welcome sign that the star — whose films have grossed more than $7 billion worldwide — is truly “Back in Action” following her highly-anticipated turn opposite Jamie Foxx in the Netflix action comedy by the same name.
Hill will also produce “Outcome” alongside Matt Dines and Ali Goodwin under their Strong Baby banner. The film marks Hill’s latest collaboration with Apple Original Films, as the parties are also developing a Grateful Dead biopic with Martin Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions. Scorsese will direct that film, written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, with Jonah Hill starring and producing. Hill, Dines and Goodwin will also produce for Strong Baby.
Deadline was first to report news of the casting talks. Diaz is repped by Rick Yorn, CEO of LBI Entertainment.
