The feature film by director Seth Gordon is about a couple who return to the world of espionage 15 years after leaving the CIA.

Cameron Diaz (52) has not appeared in any new films for a good ten years - since "Annie" (2014). In her own words, she really enjoyed this time. "That was the best decade of my life," the actress ("Crazy for Mary", "Love Needs No Vacation") recently told the German Press Agency in Berlin when asked how she had experienced her time away from the film business. She got married, started a family and is now happy to be back in the film business. "It's a privilege for me to be able to make films," she explained.

His role is also something special for Jamie Foxx (57). In 2023, the Oscar winner ("Ray") suffered a stroke. When asked what this had changed in his life, the 57-year-old said last week in Berlin: "You become much more grateful for everything, I appreciate every moment more - the fact that we're sitting here together right now, for example." He is now really "back in action".
