Cameron Diaz will return to film with Jamie Foxx
Popular former Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz has decided to return to film for a Netflix streaming movie starring Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx.
The actress, who announced in 2014 that she was ending her career, motivated by a desire to focus on her family,
will star in a comedy called "Back in Action."
The project reunites Diaz and Fox, who worked together on the 1999 sports drama "Every Sunday" and the 2014 remake of "Annie," which was Diaz's last movie role before "retiring." Fox announced the new collaborative project by sharing audio of a phone conversation with Diaz, who can't find the words to let the world know she's returning to the big screen. "I don't know how to do it right, you know?" - says his interlocutor.
Seth Gordon ("Insufferable Bosses") is directing the film from a script he co-wrote with Brendan O'Brien. Plot details are still being kept secret. According to Fox, production on the film is expected to begin later this year. No premiere date has been announced.
