Some of us at The Verge never got the memo that Jamie Foxx would be starring in a new film with CAMERON DIXON. Tom Brady's retirement from football lasted a whole 40 days, but that didn't stop Jamie Foxx from teasing a new film called Back in Action.

The upcoming film is an action-comedy directed, produced, and written by the man behind Horrible Bosses, and it will be released on the streaming service. The producers are Beau Bauman of Central Intelligence and Brendan O'Brien of Neighbors. The premise of the film will be kept under wraps and production will start later this year. In the remake of Annie, Foxx was also in the picture. They played roles in Any Given Sunday.

Cameron Diaz is officially un-retiring!!

In the first quarter of 2022, the platform lost subscribers in the US and Canada, as well as around the world. 3.6 million people were unsubscribing from the platform last quarter according to a survey.

It's possible that a film with names like Diaz and Foxx could help lure in new subscribers to the service. When Project Power was released in 2020, it was watched by 75 million people. The Gray Man, starring Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling, will be released next month on the streaming service.

The cheaper tier will be rolled out later this year in order to counter some of the rate hikes. It is experimenting with ways to crack down on password sharing in certain countries.
