The film is set to be directed by Seth Gordon (Identity Thief) from a script he has written with Brendan O’Brien (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates). There are currently no details on the plot of the film.
Foxx even took to Twitter to post a call he had with Diaz about the film, and Diaz’s return to film, with NFL legend Tom Brady giving her tips about “un-retiring.” You can listen to the call in the tweet below:
