Cameron Diaz Coming Out Of Retirement To Star In Action-Comedy With Jamie Foxx

Back in 2018, Cameron Diaz shocked the world by announcing she would be taking a step back from Hollywood. She didn’t exactly come out and say, “I’ll NEVER star in another movie ever again” but she made it clear that acting was no longer on her to-do list.

But just four years later, Diaz is coming out of retirement to star in an upcoming action-comedy film with her friend Jamie Foxx.

It’s a reunion of sorts. Foxx and Diaz worked together on the 1999 film Any Given Sunday and the 2014 ‘Annie‘ remake, which just so happens to be Diaz’ last feature film role.

Foxx shared the news on his Twitter account, even sharing an audio clip from the phone call with Diaz, when the deal was made official.

The movie is already set up with Netflix, and as Foxx mentioned above, filming is expected to begin later this year, which means a release date in 2023 is likely.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but once some information is leaked, we will share it with you.

According to the reports, Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) is directing the movie. He co-wrote the script with Brendan O’Brien.

Awkwafina And Karen Gillan Set To Co-Star In Comedy-Action Film ‘Shelly’

Hollywood might still be shutdown (when it comes to production) but that doesn’t mean deals aren’t being made. In fact, more deals might be going down right now.

The most recent package? Awkwafina and Karen Gillan are set to star in the action-comedy film, Shelly. The script was written by Michael Doneger and Liz Storm.

The story takes place a decade after an embarrassing prom prank ran Shelly Wheeler (Awkwafina) out of town and so hardened her heart that she became an ice-cold hit-woman. Revenge threatens to be sweet when she learns her next target is her former high school tormentor, Dianna Park (Gillan).

But when Dianna unexpectedly befriends Shelly, the assassin finds herself in with the cool crowd, protecting her old nemesis against another hit crew hired to kill them both.

People in the industry are saying it’s “Mean Girls” meets “Barry” if those silly comparisons do anything for you.

This sounds like it’s destined for Netflix. And no, that’s not an insult. Netflix is putting out quality content, and has been for a long time.

The project is reportedly being shopped around town as we speak.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Stars In Hilarious Trailer For Comedy-Action Film ‘Killing Gunther’

I’ll be honest, this film was not on my radar, but after watching this first trailer…it’s right in the middle of it. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been taking some dark movie roles lately, and that’s made everyone a little sad. We miss the old Arnold, the Jingle All The Way Arnold.

Thankfully, that joyful Arnold is making a comeback in Killing Gunther. Former Saturday Night Live actor Taran Killam is making his directorial debut with this film.

Entertainment Weekly gives us more details:

“Written and directed by Killam, the film concerns a group of young, raw, and undisciplined assassins who hire a documentary crew at gunpoint so that they have undeniable proof they’re the ones responsible for killing Schwarzenegger’s Gunther, the most infamous hitman of all time. But Gunther is on to them and decides to make their lives a living hell.”

It sounds absolutely ridiculous, and that’s because it is. But you know what? It also looks absolutely hilarious. In addition to Killam and Schwarzenegger, Killing Gunther, co-stars Bobby Moynihan, Hannah Simone, and Cobie Smulders. It’ll be released in select theaters and on demand on October. 20.
