Diaz’s long list of film credits includes There’s Something About Mary, The Mask, the animated Shrek franchise, and the Charlie’s Angels films.
Back in Action will be directed by Seth Gordon from a script he co-wrote with Brendan O’Brien (“Good Neighbors”). For his part, Foxx will executive produce the film with Datari Turner, O’Brien and Mark McNair.
