About Back in Action Movie:
In June 2022, it was reported that Cameron Diaz was coming out of retirement for a Seth Gordon and Brendan O’Brien penned action comedy entitled Back in Action, also set to star Jamie Foxx.
In August 2022, Foxx spoke about persuading Diaz (whose last film prior to her retirement in 2014 was Annie, which he also starred in) to join the cast.
Principal photography took place in London from December 2, 2022, to March 9, 2023. In late February 2023, Diaz shot scenes at the River Thames. Filming in Atlanta began on March 27 and wrapped in late April. In mid-April, while Foxx was hospitalized for a medical emergency, body doubles were used to film his remaining scenes.
