"There's Something About Mary" and "Charlie's Angels" star Cameron Diaz is coming out of retirement for Netflix's new action comedy "Back in Action". The film will be directed by "Horrible Bosses" filmmaker Seth Gordon from a script he co-wrote alongside "Neighbors" scribe Brendan O'Brien.
The storyline is being kept under wraps. Production is expected to begin later this year. In a shrewd marketing move, the announcement was made via Foxx's Twitter account where he posted audio of him, Diaz and NFL star Tom Brady talking:
The film is executive produced by Foxx, O'Bien, Datari Turner and Mark McNair, and produced by Beau Bauman ("Central Intelligence") for Good One Productions, along with Gordon for his Exhibit A banner.
Diaz and Foxx previously starred together in the 2014 film adaptation of "Annie", which was also her last role before retiring officially in 2018, and the 1999 Oliver Stone film "Any Given Sunday".
