Jonah Hill’s filmmaking debut was 2018’s skateboard drama “Mid90s” via A24. It garnered good reviews. I found the film to be a slight, but very authentic coming-of-age story.
Hill is now set to direct “Cut Off” over at Warner Bros. The project just secured California Production Tax Credits. THR had previously mentioned Jennifer Lawrence’s casting, but a source tells me that she isn’t part of the project. A rumored shoot in the fall is being eyed.
“Cut Off,” described as a comedy, tackles two non-fraternal twins who get cut off from their wealthy family, and must learn to navigate the real world. Hill is playing one of the twins.
Hill has already shot and completed his sophomore effort, “Outcome,” starring Keanu Reeves, and Cameron Diaz. It’s been testing very well these last few months. A fall release is being eyed on that one.
