Plot

[edit]

Reef Hawk is an actor who has been sober for five years. He has taken a break from acting to build his new home, and he takes pride in his progress in life. However, when he receives a call from his crisis lawyer Ira Slitz, who reveals that someone is blackmailing him with a video of questionable content, his life is turned upside-down. Reef then sets out to make amends with those whom he has wronged in the past in order to figure out who the blackmailer is.[2]

Production

[edit]

It was announced in April 2023 that Apple TV+ had acquired the film, directed by and co-starring Jonah Hill,[5] with Keanu Reeves in negotiations to star alongside him.[6] Hill also co-wrote the screenplay with Ezra Woods.[7][2] In January 2024, Reeves was confirmed to star in the film, with principal photography scheduled to begin in March 2024 in Los Angeles, and expected to wrap in May.[2] Nick Houy served as an editor for the film.[8] In March, Cameron Diaz was said to be in advanced talks to join the film in an undisclosed starring role;[7] days later, Diaz was confirmed to have signed on, with Matt Bomer also joining in another undisclosed role.[9] The film marks the first time Reeves and Diaz have appeared in a film together since Feeling Minnesota in 1996.[10]

Principal photography began on March 20, 2024,[11] shortly after the production of Reeves and Aziz Ansari's film Good Fortune.[5] In April, Susan Lucci, David Spade, Laverne Cox, Kaia Gerber, Roy Wood Jr. and Atsuko Okatsuka were added to the cast.[12] Cox revealed her role as Virginia in September, and revealed her involvement with Reeves in "one big scene", likening it to "a one-act play within the film".[13] In January 2026, Cary Christopher revealed he was a part of the cast.[14]
