Cameron Diaz (returning to the movies after a decade) and Jamie Foxx star in spy comedy Back In Action, here’s the trailer.

Cameron Diaz chose to step back from acting a decade ago, with her last feature film credit to date being 2014’s Annie. Before that, she was one of the biggest names in Hollywood, starring in films like The Mask, There’s Something About Mary, the Charlie’s Angels films and voicing Princess Fiona in Shrek.

Jamie Foxx began his career as a stand up comedian, partaking in the popular Def Comedy Jam shows before moving to television to be part of the cast of In Living Color. His first dramatic role was in 1999’s Any Given Sunday and he went on to star opposite Will Smith in Ali and Tom Cruise in Collateral. In 2005, he won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Ray.

Cameron Diaz now returns...

Cameron Diaz is ending her decade-long acting hiatus with “Back in Action,” a Netflix two-hander she stars in alongside Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx. The streaming service released a teaser trailer for the action comedy.

Diaz and Foxx play former CIA agents who gave up that dangerous life when they started a family. But when their cover is blown, they’re pulled back into the world of espionage. And you know what? They still like it. “For the first time in a long time, I felt alive again. I felt like ‘the bitch’ again,” Diaz’s Emily tells Foxx’s Matt, intercut with a scene of them fighting assassins at a gas station, with Matt using a pump as a flamethrower and Emily jumping off the hood of an SUV for a takedown. And their kids are seeing them in a whole new light. If you’re looking for another...

The last time Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx shared the screen, they were playing the villainous Miss Hannigan and tech billionaire-turned-adoptee Will Stacks in 2014's Annie remake. That movie musical also happens to be the last time Diaz shared the screen with, well, anyone, as the Charlie's Angels star went on a decade-long acting sabbatical following the movie's release (the two events are presumably unrelated.) But now Diaz and Foxx are back back back in the very shrewdly titled Back In Action, which is not as it happens a remake of *that* Looney Tunes movie (sadly), but rather a buzzy, Netflix bound spy comedy from writer-director Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) and co-scribe Brendan O'Brien (Bad Neighbours). Check out the action-packed trailer below:

"Tonight something clicked," says Diaz' Emily to husband Matt (Foxx) at the start of this new trailer, "for the first time in a really long time I felt alive again.

Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Back in Action, which stars Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz as Matt and Emily, two ex-CIA spies who find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown. The streaming service also revealed the release date for Back in Action, with the action comedy flick set to premiere on January 17th. You can check out the first-look photos of Back in Action below!

In addition to Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, Back in Action also stars Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, McKenna Roberts, and Rylan Jackson. Seth Gordon (Baywatch) directed the movie and co-wrote the script with Brendan O’Brien.

Back in Action centers on Matt (Foxx) and Emily (Diaz), who gave up their lives as CIA spies in order to start a family but find themselves forced back into their previous roles when their cover is suddenly blown.

The trailer shows Diaz thriving on the new excitement as she admits, “For the first time in a really long time, I felt alive again. I felt like the bitch again.”

Later, Foxx learns that spy work still comes easily to him: “Just like old times, baby. Just like old times.”

Gordon (Horrible Bosses) directed the film...

The last movie Cameron Diaz appeared in was the 2014 musical comedy drama Annie. Four years later, she officially retired from acting with little explanation.

Speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, Diaz revealed why she stepped back from Hollywood. "For me, it was just something I had to do," she said in a video shared on X. "It felt like something I had to do to reclaim my own life. And I just really didn't care about anything else. Nobody's opinion, nobody's success, no one's offer, no one's anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have."

Amazon MGM Studios has released the trailer for the comedy film “You’re Cordially Invited,” starring Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell.

Per the official logline, “A woman (Witherspoon) planning her sister’s (Meredith Hagner) perfect wedding and the father (Ferrell) of a young bride-to-be (Geraldine Viswanathan) find out that they are double booked for their destination wedding at a remote resort on an island off the Georgia coast.

In a new interview, Diaz is breaking her silence about working with Foxx and reports that suggested that starring alongside the Django Unchained star would affect her career.

“I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time,” Diaz said on the Lipstick on the Rim podcast about the rumors sprawling in the media while filming Back in Action. “You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?’”

Diaz continued praising Foxx adding, “Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew. Everybody loves him. We have so much fun on the set with him and he’s just a professional on every level.”

Back in Action...

Cameron Diaz appeared on a recent episode of the “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast and pushed back against rumors that Jamie Foxx was “crazy” on the set of their Netflix movie “Back in Action” (via People).

Each of the three winners will receive a 2xLP black vinyl edition of Vs., the 1993 follow-up to Pearl Jam’s game-changing 1991 debut Ten. With tracks like “Daughter,” “Dissident,” “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” and “Rearviewmirror,” the album saw the grunge icons avert the curse of the sophomore slump, even becoming one of the few bands in Saturday Night Live history to perform three songs in an episode (rather than the standard two). Vs. also marked Pearl Jam’s first LP with producer Brendan O’Brien, who became their go-to collaborator for numerous subsequent records.

Vs. was also a huge album in terms of moving physical copies, too, setting the record for most first-week...

Pre-orders are ongoing. Meanwhile, a digital Atmos Spatial Audio Mix of the album begins streaming on Apple Music this Friday, October 20th.

As the follow-up to Pearl Jam’s game-changing 1991 debut Ten, Vs. saw Eddie Vedder and company defy the sophomore slump thanks to songs like “Daughter,” “Dissident,” “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” and “Rearviewmirror.” They were one of the few bands in Saturday Night Live history to perform not two, but three songs the following year, in between that project’s promotional cycle and the release of Vitalogy.

The filmmaker behind the upcoming animated reboot, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, has responded to some of the criticism made towards the movie regarding the portrayal of staple character April O'Neil. Speaking exclusively with MovieWeb, director Jeff Rowe says he is “unconcerned” about the pushbacks against Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem including New York and Black culture and explains why the changes made to April O’Neil were absolutely necessary.

"Yeah, I'm wholly unconcerned with those people who don't like it. You know, I would ask them to investigate their own thoughts about why they don't like it. But you really hit the nail on the head, like, it's a New York film, it needs to feel like New York, and April needs to feel like a real teenager in New York. Historically that character has been like a weird mom / friend / love interest. And we're like, no,...

Ice Cube has heaped praise on the performance that Hollywood icon and action movie superstar Jackie Chan gives as Splinter in the upcoming animated outing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

"I haven't met Jackie Chan yet. But I think he deserves an Oscar for this movie. He's like the heart and soul. I always want to hear him talk and hear his instructions to the Turtles and I really enjoyed his performance."

While it’s unlikely that Jackie Chan will walk away with a gold statue for his performance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, he clearly makes a big impression in the movie, and should have fans even more excited to hear the Rush Hour...

Adam Devine discovers he has a lot to learn about Nina Dobrev’s family life after he meets her parents, played by Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin, in the trailer for the Netflix action-comedy film The Out-Laws.

The feature from director Tyler Spindel (The Wrong Missy) centers on bank manager Owen (Devine), who finally meets the parents of his fiancée, Parker (Dobrev), and then comes to suspect that they may have robbed his bank during the week of the wedding. Michael Rooker, Poorna Jagannathan, Julie Hagerty, Richard Kind, Lil Rel Howery and Blake Anderson round out the cast for the movie that launches July 7.

Meeting your partner’s parents can be challenging. Regardless of your confidence in your relationship, a wrong move with the parental units can spell disaster for your future. For Adam Devine‘s Owen Browning, he never banked on his fiancee’s parents being accomplished bank robbers. This hurdle is a tricky jump for Owen, a by-the-books bank manager, and all-around goofball. In Netflix‘s The Out-Laws trailer, Owen and his fiancee Parker (Nina Dobrev) discover Parker’s parents are the notorious Ghost Bandits, and they need the couple’s help to get them out of a jam.

After befriending April O'Neil, the turtles work alongside her to take down notorious criminal Superfly hoping that his arrest will make the public view them as equals instead of mutant monsters.

Neil Jacobson calls himself the best salesman in the music business. It’s not without reason. Over the course of his two-decade career, he’s pushed multiplatinum records like the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”; more recently, he’s brokered lucrative catalog sales for the likes of Jeff Bhasker and Brendan O’Brien.

Artists’ influences are never nearly as interesting as what they do with them. Chris Cornell always thrived at taking well-known songs and making them his own. One of Soundgarden’s earliest recordings was a rendition of Howlin’ Wolf’s steady-grooving, broken-hearted blues “Smokestack Lightnin’,” on which Cornell seemed to find his own anguish in the vocal, hollering, screeching, and howlin’ like he was on his own personal torture rack. And later, when he approached others’ tunes, the song itself wasn’t always the most apparent influence. He variously replaced the...

Chris Cornell’s estate has surprise-released a new posthumous album of covers, No One Sings Like You Anymore.

Cornell recorded the album in 2016, playing all the instruments, while Brendan O’Brien produced and mixed it. The 10-song track list comprises songs by artists that inspired Cornell, and the record marks his last fully completed solo album before his death in 2017.

No One Sings Like You Anymore features renditions of songs like John Lennon’s “Watching the Wheels,” Harry Nilsson’s “Jump Into the Fire,” Electric Light Orchestra’s “Showdown,” Prince’s...

In times of great disruption in an industry, Neil Jacobson says, one needs to get as close to the talent as possible — something his mentor Jimmy Iovine taught him.

Sony Pictures, Martin Lawrence, Unanimous Media’s Stephen Curry and Erick Peyton, and Brendan O’Brien are teaming on One and Done, a high concept comedy set in the world of women’s basketball.

AC/DC light up the stage in the new video for their first single since 2014, “Shot in the Dark.”

Directed by David Mallet, the clip places AC/DC in their true element — on a giant stage flush with red lights, where they rip through the stadium-sized rocker with ease, conjuring plenty of energy even without hordes of screaming fans.

AC/DC released “Shot in the Dark” earlier this month, announcing the song would appear on their 17th full-length album, Power Up, out November 13th. For the album, the band reunited with producer Brendan O’Brien,...

Earlier this year, word spread through the music industry: The star K-Pop group Bts was on the hunt, prowling for a new single. “It was a bit of a holy grail cut,” says the English writer-producer David Stewart. “I had quite a few conversations with big producers and writers in America who were trying to get it.”

Stewart ended up winning the Bts lottery along with Jessica Agombar: The pair penned “Dynamite,” the K-Pop septet’s first all-English-language single. The lite-funk track, complete with scrubbing rhythm guitar and stabbing horns,...
