Jenna Ortega and Robert De Niro to Play Pool Hustlers in David O. Russell’s ‘Shutout’ for RK Films, Black Bear


Jenna Ortega and Robert De Niro will play pool hustlers in David O. Russell's new movie from RK Films, being introduced in Cannes by Black Bear.

“Shutout,” based on a screenplay by Alejandro Adams, is being produced by Russell, RK Films’ Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum (“Maleficent,” “Fast X”), and Mark Bomback (“Defending Jacob,” “The United States vs Billie Holiday”). Having lived and lost by the roll of a ball in smoky backroom halls, Jake encounters Mia (Ortega), a young prodigy whose raw, electrifying talent reignites a fire he thought long extinguished. “We’re delighted to be collaborating with the acclaimed director David O. Russell and the legendary Robert De Niro, and especially excited to see Jenna step into the spotlight alongside these two cinematic icons,” said RK Films’ Kirschenbaum.
