Back in May at Netflix’s Upfronts presentation in New York, Foxx spoke about working with Diaz again. He told the audience, “A lot of people don’t know this, but after Cameron and I did Any Given Sunday and Annie together, we became friends in real life — and I’ve been begging her to come play with me again. We all know there’s just something about her…”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, on-screen and off,” added Diaz.

The film is produced by Jenno Topping, Peter Chernin and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett for Chernin Entertainment; Beau Bauman for Good One Productions; Seth Gordon for Exhibit A
