Short filmTranscript
00:00Hi, I'm Cameron Diaz, and I'm going to tell you why I decided to make Back in Action as my first film in ten years.
00:06I didn't think I was going to make another movie.
00:08I was perfectly happy, you know, just living my life, doing other things, you know?
00:12Like, day in and day out, not movies.
00:14And then I get a phone call from Jamie Foxx.
00:16And how do you say no to Jamie Foxx when he says,
00:20Hey, I've got this big action comedy that we can just have so much fun on.
00:24If there's anyone I'm going to go back and spend months on end, on set, having a ball, laughing with, it would be Jamie.
00:31And here we are, Back in Action.
00:33I was not keeping up with any kind of training.
00:36I did nothing public.
00:37I said no to everything.
00:39Other than for my wine, I started a wine company called Avaline.
00:42That was what I was putting most of my focus on if I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day to day.
00:49And that was pretty much it.
00:50I'm just trying to stay alive just like every other mother.
00:53I'm just trying to keep it going.
00:57Being a parent, I see it with like all of my friends who are like so amazing, like super talented entertainers, funny people, writers, singers, songwriters, everybody who's an artist that I know.
01:09All their kids are just like, Oh my God, Mom, stop.
01:12Oh my God, Dad, are you kidding?
01:14Stop.
01:15This is one of those like little fantasies that all parents have is that their kids could see them as they existed before they had all of the weight of the world of being a parent on them.
01:25Children just can't see their parents that way.
01:27This is hopefully a film that parents will sit with their children and watch the movie with them.
01:34And maybe their kids will side eye their parents a little bit and be like, Hmm, Mom, Dad, was there anything you did before we came along that was cool?
01:45You know?
01:46And maybe, just maybe, their kids will believe them when they say, Yeah, it was pretty cool.
01:53It's very much exactly the same and it's completely different.
01:56I'm so grateful for LED lighting because going into a room where you have like big hot lights all day long, you're sweating and there's no air conditioning.
02:07It's not like that anymore.
02:08They have these cute little bulbs.
02:09They're like so pretty and they're long and some of them are really big and they light up and they dim down.
02:14There's so many things that they can do now technologically that just wasn't back in my day, children, 10 years ago.
02:22Lots changed.
02:23It's a lot of change.
02:24I'm very excited for everyone to see the movie and I think you're really going to enjoy Back in Action.
02:29So check it out only on Netflix.
