Cameron Diaz to star in action comedy 'Bad Day'

Cameron Diaz returns in 'Bad Day,' an action comedy directed by Jake Szymanski, following her Netflix hit 'Back in Action.'

"How do you say 'No' to Jamie Foxx? – Cameron Diaz (People)"

Washington DC, July 16

Cameron Diaz, who, after a near-decade hiatus, made a return to acting this year with Netflix's hit 'Back in Action', is all set to be seen in 'Bad Day', an action comedy to be directed by Jake Szymanski, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Beau Bauman is producing with his Good One Productions.

Laura Solon wrote the original story, which revolves around a single mother struggling to make one small promise to her daughter on the worst day of her life.

The project has been described as a comical version of Joel Schumacher's 1993 drama Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays a man who reaches his breaking point while rushing to go to his daughter's birthday party," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Diaz is one of Hollywood's most bankable big-screen actresses. She took a hiatus in 2014, having appeared in films ranging from Something About Mary and The Holiday to Bad Teacher and Shrek, as per the outlet.

After focusing on motherhood and taking a decade-long break from her acting career, Cameron Diaz has returned to the screens with the action-comedy film 'Back In Action'.

"How do you say 'No' to Jamie Foxx?" said Diaz, adding, "If there's anyone I'm going to go back and spend months on end on set having a ball and laughing with, it would be Jamie," reported People.

'Back in Action' tells the story of two former CIA spies, Emily (Cameron Diaz) and Matt (Jamie Foxx), who left their careers to start a family. However, their peaceful life is interrupted when their secret identities are exposed, pulling them back into the dangerous world of espionage.

It is also the most-watched original streaming movie of the year so far, with 5.26 billion minutes viewed, and the third-most-watched movie on any streaming platform, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The plot sounds interesting but I hope they don't make it too American-centric. Would be great if they include some global perspectives - maybe an Indian character? We're a huge market after all!

After watching Back in Action, I'm excited for this! Though I must say the action sequences could be better - Bollywood does it much better these days with films like War and Pathaan.

As a working mom in Mumbai, I can totally relate to the premise! Juggling career and kids is universal struggle. Hope they show some realistic parenting moments along with the action.

Hollywood should take notes from Indian cinema - our female-led films like Queen and Thappad show much deeper emotional journeys. But still, good to see Diaz back in action!

The concept reminds me of our Bollywood film Mardaani but with comedy twist. Hope it releases during holidays - perfect family entertainer after Diwali shopping fatigue!
