Cameron Diaz is set to make a significant return to the big screen, as Apple Original Films has revealed that she is in the final stages of negotiations to star in the upcoming dark comedy 'Outcome' alongside Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves. The film, directed by Hill and co-written by him and Ezra Woods, will feature Reeves in the lead role of Reef, a troubled Hollywood star who is forced to confront his past demons and seek redemption after being blackmailed with a mysterious video clip from his history.
While specific details about Diaz's character have not been disclosed, her involvement in the project is a major win for the production. Diaz has built a successful career on her comedic talents, with box office hits like 'The Mask,' 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' 'There's Something About Mary,' 'Bad Teacher,' and the 'Charlie's Angels' and 'Shrek' franchises collectively grossing over $7 billion worldwide. Additionally, she has received critical acclaim for her dramatic performances in films such as 'Being John Malkovich,' 'Vanilla Sky,' and 'Gangs of New York,' earning nominations from prestigious award bodies like the Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA.
In recent years, Diaz had taken a step back from acting to focus on her pursuits as a bestselling author and entrepreneur. However, her involvement in 'Outcome' signals a return to the spotlight, following her highly-anticipated role opposite Jamie Foxx in the Netflix action comedy 'Back in Action,' which marked her official comeback to the industry.
Aside from her acting endeavors, Diaz has also made a name for herself as a successful author and entrepreneur. She is represented by Rick Yorn, CEO of LBI Entertainment.
Jonah Hill, who will also produce 'Outcome' through his company Strong Baby alongside Matt Dines and Ali Goodwin, has been strengthening his ties with Apple Original Films. The collaboration extends to a forthcoming Grateful Dead biopic, helmed by Martin Scorsese under his Sikelia Productions banner, with a script penned by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Hill is set to star in and produce the biopic, continuing his fruitful partnership with Apple Original Films.
The news of Diaz's potential involvement in 'Outcome' was first reported by Deadline, and her participation in the project has generated significant buzz among fans and industry insiders alike. With a stellar cast and talented creative team behind the film, 'Outcome' is shaping up to be a highly-anticipated addition to the dark comedy genre.
