“I love our life.” “But?” “Tonight something clicked. I felt alive again.” That’s the sound of Cameron Diaz back on our screens for the first time in 10 years – and a new trailer gives us a new look at Back in Action.

The Netflix comedy thriller stars Diaz as Emily, who gave up her life as a CIA spy years ago to start a family with fellow agent Matt (Jamie Foxx). But when their cover is blown, they find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage.

Written by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) and Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors), with Gordon also directing, the comedy co-stars Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, Andrew Scott and Jamie Demetriou.

You can see them all back in action on 17th January, when the film premieres on Netflix. Here’s the trailer, plus another teaser below it.
