Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz Smile in Behind-the-Scenes Look at “Back in Action” as Movie Gets Pushed to January
'Back in Action' is now on Netflix Jan. 17, instead of its previously announced Nov. 15 debut date
Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz are giving another peek at their movie Back in Action.
On Aug. 28, Netflix shared a new image of Foxx, 56, and Diaz, 51, smiling together on the film's set on Instagram, where it also announced the movie will premiere on the streaming service Jan. 17.
"Behind-the-scenes of us getting back to the action (and laughs)," a caption to the photo reads. "@iamjamiefoxx and @CameronDiaz star in BACK IN ACTION premiering January 17."
Back in Action marks a major upcoming release for both Foxx and Diaz; the Django Unchained actor suffered his April 2023 medical complication while he was filming for the movie in Atlanta, which temporarily halted production. Diaz, meanwhile, returns to acting in films for the first time since 2014's Annie — which also costarred Foxx — with the new movie.
Foxx and Diaz were seen filming additional scenes for the movie as recently as January 2024 after he recovered from the medical emergency, and Netflix first released footage from the movie on Feb. 1 as part of a larger video promoting its upcoming releases for 2024. The movie was at one point scheduled to release on Nov. 15.
