Cameron Diaz to Star in Action Comedy "Bad Day" for Netflix
Yara Sameh Cameron Diaz, who after a near-decade hiatus made a return to acting this year with Netflix's hit "Back in Action", is continuing to be back in action. Diaz has reunited with the streaming giant and signed on to star in "Bad Day," an action comedy to be directed by Jake Szymanski, who helmed the well-regarded comedy series "Jury Duty" as well as "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates". Beau Bauman, who produced "Back in Action", is producing with his Good One Productions. Written by Laura Solon, the original script centers on a single mom fighting to keep one little promise to her daughter on the absolute worst day of her life. The project has been described as a comedic version of "Falling Down", the 1993 drama directed by Joel Schumacher that starred Michael Douglas as a man who hits his breaking point while trying to get to his daughter's birthday party. Solon will executive produce, as will Mark Moran. This is the third collaboration for the Solon and Bauman, who previously worked together on comedies "Office Christmas Party" and "Let It Snow". The scribe wrote the script on spec, with Bauman helping to develop it. Netflix is moving fast on this one, which will shoot this fall in New York and New Jersey. With movies ranging from Something About "Mary" and "The Holiday" to "Bad Teacher" and the Shrek movies, Diaz was one of Hollywood's most bankable big-screen stars when she took a break in 2014. She was lured back by the previous Netflix regime with the promise of a big paycheck and the chance to reunite with her Annie co-star Jamie Foxx for "Back in Action". The movie, about a married couple who happen to be former spies, debuted in January and became an instant hit on the platform. In just six months, it now ranks at No. 6 on Netflix's most watched movie list of all time, per Nielsen. "Back in Action" 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. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Cameron Diaz cast in Netflix comedy Bad Day
Cameron Diaz is to star in the Netflix movie Bad Day. The 52-year-old actress has signed up to feature in the streaming giant's project from director Jake Szymanski – who helmed the acclaimed comedy series Jury Duty. The movie centres on a single mother who is fighting to keep one small promise to her daughter on the worst day of her life. The picture has been described as a comedic version of Joel Schumacher's 1993 film Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays a man who reaches breaking point as he attempts to get to his daughter's birthday party. The script has been penned by Laura Solon and the movie is being produced by Beau Bauman for Good One Productions. Bad Day will shoot in New York and New Jersey later this year. Cameron returned to the big screen after an 11-year absence in the Netflix picture Back in Action earlier this year and felt it was the perfect project to come back with, as she was thrilled to work with co-star Jamie Foxx. She said: "I thought that if I was going to come back and do a movie, the only person I'd come back and do it with would be this guy. "Seriously. I had other opportunities along the way and I was always saying: 'No. I'm not doing it, I've told you ... What? Jamie asked? Jamie? Oh, I can do a movie with Jamie!'" Diaz stepped away from acting to concentrate on her family and personal life and refused to confirm that she was returning to Hollywood "for good". The There's Something About Mary star said: "I don't know how I view it. It's hard to say. If I say it then it becomes this thing. "I reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again, and I reserve the right to say yes if I decide to. I'm not defining anything. I'm just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment." Cameron made her movie debut opposite Jim Carrey in the 1994 comedy The Mask and has suggested that she is open to reprising the role of Tina Carlyle in a sequel. She told Access Hollywood: "If Jim's on board, I mean, I've been riding those coattails from day one." Carrey also stated that he would be willing to make a follow-up to The Mask if provided with the right story. The 63-year-old star said: "Oh gosh, you know, it has to be the right idea. "If somebody had the right idea, I guess… It's not really about the money. I joke about the money… But I never know. You can't be definite about these things. "I said I'd like to retire, but I think I was talking more about power-resting. Because as soon as a good idea comes your way, or a group of people that you really enjoyed working with and stuff, it just — things tend to change."
