Jonah Hill’s ‘Cut Off’ Reportedly Deemed “Unreleasable” by Warner Bros.

Jonah Hill, coming off the miserable reviews for this year’s Apple-produced movie “Outcome,” now has yet another film destined for a long delay.

This time, it’s “Cut Off,” his third directorial effort, which was set to hit theaters this July but was recently removed from the Warner Bros. release calendar and is now undated.

We saw this coming. There had been zero promotion for “Cut Off,” which completed production in September 2025. Originally, Jennifer Lawrence was attached to lead the film but was later replaced by Kristen Wiig. Test screenings reportedly scored poorly, with one attendee claiming it was “unwatchable.”

Now, Puck’s Matt Belloni is taking it a step further, reporting that the studio believes “Cut Off” is “unreleasable.” He hints that the fate of Hill’s movie may only be determined after the Warner Bros.-Paramount deal is completed and once it becomes clear whether film chiefs Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca remain in place.

In “Cut Off,” Hill and Wiig portray wealthy siblings who suddenly find themselves cut off from their parents’ financial support and, for the first time, are forced to navigate adult life on their own. Bette Midler, Nathan Lane, Adriana Barraza, Camila Cabello, and Chelsea Peretti round out the cast.

Hill took a break from acting beginning around 2022, when he announced he would no longer promote his films due to longstanding anxiety and wanted to prioritize his mental health. He later shifted his focus to directing rather than appearing in new acting roles. The result was “Outcome,” a critically panned Hollywood/cancel culture satire starring Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz.

It now appears his follow-up isn’t faring any better, as “Cut Off” will remain unseen until Warner Bros. can figure out what to do with it — is another Zaslav tax write-off incoming? Likely not. This film will soon be David Ellison’s problem.
