Cameron Diaz returns to the screen to star with Jamie Foxx in the new Netflix film Back in Action.
Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon is directing the film from a script he co-wrote with Neighbours: Warpath writer Brendan O’Brien, but plot details are being kept under wraps. At the moment, it is only known that the film is classified as an action comedy.
Fox shared the news on Twitter with an audio recording of a phone conversation between him and Diaz, in which he also brought in NFL player Tom Brady to give her some advice on “retiring the sport” (Brady announced his retirement in February 2022 and went backwards). Diaz said she was “excited” but “alarmed” by her return to acting.
Diaz officially confirmed her retirement from acting in 2018, but her last big-screen role was in 2014 as Miss Hannigan in Annie. Her 30-year career spans films such as Charlie’s Angels, Shrek and Gangs of New York, and she has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards.
Back in Business doesn’t have a release date yet.
