Jonah Hill Cut Off Comedy Without Release Date Amid ‘Unreleasable’ Claim

Jonah Hill’s upcoming comedy Cut Off, co-starring Kristen Wiig, is currently awaiting a new release date. On Friday, Puck News reported that the film — which was originally slated for July 17, the same day as Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey — no longer has that date because it was viewed as “unreleasable” and is now not scheduled. However, a source close to the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter that the film wrapped production in January and that Warner Bros. wants more time in the run-up to its release.

Jonah Hill may not have made it to the CinemaCon main stage during Warner Bros. studio presentation to promote his upcoming film, Cut Off, but the comedy vet didn’t miss a chance to tease it while under the lights at SmartLess Live on Saturday. “Next one is pure stupidity,” Hill told SmartLess hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes of the film, due in theaters July 17. It comes on the heels of his Apple TV original Outcome starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer. Asked to elaborate and share the concept, Hill said this: “It’s dumb. I’m about to go on a run of just the dumbest shit you’ve ever seen in your entire life. I hope you left your brains at home.
