Cammie is back
Cameron Diaz retired from acting in the 2010sâjust last year, she talked to Kevin Hart about her decision to step back from acting. The only acting credit since 2014 on her CV is the âBoss Bitch Fight Challengeâ Zoe Bell put together during the lockdown last year. Well, maybe that taste was enough to reignite her interest, because Cammie D just ended her eight-year hiatus to make a new movie with Jamie Foxx. Itâs an action-comedy called Back In Action for Netflix. Foxx and Diaz have previously worked together on the HIGHLY underappreciated Any Given Sundayâone of the grossest American movies Iâve seen, and also one of Diazâs best performancesâand the 2014 remake of Annie. Foxx broke the news via Twitter:
Cameron I hope you arenĂąâŹâąt mad I recorded this, but no turning back now. Had to call in the GOAT to bring back another GOAT. @CameronDiaz and I are BACK IN ACTION – our new movie with @NetflixFilm. Production starting later this year!! Ă°ĆžÂŠĆ Ă°ĆžÂ pic.twitter.com/vyaGrUmbWb

Is this an example of Tom Bradyâs, er, humor? âYou need a few tips on how to un-retireâ? Man, I hope the writing for the Tom Brady comedy movie is a LOT better than this, because YIKES. Iâve seen week-old hospital tapioca with more personality. (Iâm picking on it because you know this was a setup, and THIS is the best they can do?) Bradioca aside, I am VERY excited for Cameron Diaz to return to acting. Do I wish it was for something other than the Netflix content firehose? Yes. Any Given Sunday 2 (Any Given Monday?), a new Jamie Foxx/Michael Mann collaboration, or even a sequel to The Counselor, one of Ridley Scottâs more ambitious messes in which Diaz gives a KILLER performance. Just something that wonât get buried two days later by the six new movies and ten TV shows coming out at the same time. Still, content firehose aside, itâs exciting to have Cameron Diaz in front of the camera again. The Nineties really ARE coming back.
