Four years after announcing his retirement, Cameron Díaz will once again be in front of the cameras to star in an action comedy alongside Jamie Foxx that will be part of the Netflix catalogue.
The Foxx himself confirmed the signing this week by publishing a call with Diaz in which the athlete Tom Brady also participated to give advice on how to return to the trade, since he himself returned to play in the professional American football league a month after announcing his retirement.
“I’m nervous but I don’t know how to do this. Do you know?” Diaz is heard saying on the call.
For its part, the “streaming” platform limited itself to publishing a tweet stating that the actress is “officially unretiring”.
Despite the commotion mounted, Netflix maintains in secret the details of the plot of the film, about which it is only known that it will be called “Back in Action” (Back in action), in a clear nod to the return of the actress to the screens.
Filming will begin later this year and will feature Seth Gordon (“Horrible Bosses”) directing and Brendan O’Brien (“Neighbors”) writing the script.
Díaz and Foxx previously worked together on “Any Given Sunday” (1999) and “Annie” (1999), which was her last role in a feature film.
The actress, from 49 years, announced his retirement in 2018, after participating in countless blockbuster movies such as “My Best Friend’s Wedding”, “There’s Something Abo ut Mary”, “Charlie’s Angels” and “Shrek”.
Her role as her in “The Mask” (1994), the iconic comedy starring Jim Carrey, catapulted Díaz to the forefront of Hollywood and made her into one of the most bankable stars on the big screen.
