Hollywood star Cameron Diaz is leaving retirement behind as she is set to star alongside Jamie Foxx in Netflix's upcoming action-comedy film Back in Action. Seth Gordon is directing the film from a script he wrote with Brendan O'Brien. Shoot for the project is slated to begin later this year.

Jamie Foxx made the announcement on Twitter, sharing audio from a phone call with Diaz. He wrote,

Cameron I hope you aren’t mad I recorded this, but no turning back now. Had to call in the GOAT to bring back another GOAT. Cameron Diaz and I are BACK IN ACTION - our new movie with Netflix. Production starting later this year!!

Cameron Diaz confirmed the news on her Instagram Story, writing, "Jamie Foxx, only you could get me back in action!!! I can't frickin wait it's gonna be a blast! (sic)."

The two actors have earlier worked together on sports drama Any Given Sunday (1999) and the 2014-released Annie remake, which was Diaz's final film role before retiring.
