Sex Tape
Diaz reunites with Seigel for Sex Tape, directed by Jake Kasdan who helmed their 2011 comedy Bad Teacher. A married couple with young kids try to inject some spice and mystery into their nonexistent sex life and decide to film their escapade. Unfortunately their private moments are uploaded onto the web, which spark a series of comical events to retrieve it. When asked how she felt about bearing her bum:
It’s not an objectification. If I had done it another time, if I was a young girl who was taking off my clothes to be sexy in a movie— that never felt right to me. For me, this is about two people who are in a loving relationship, being playful with one another and showing how much they love each other.
Gambit
Diaz plays PJ Puznowski, a rodeo star from Texas, in this comedy written by Joel and Ethan Coen and directed by Michael Hoffman. An art curator, played by Colin Firth, is sick of his terrible boss and puts together a plan to get revenge by getting him to buy a fake Monet. PJ is set up to be the owner of the long lost painting. Co-starring Alan Rickman and Stanley Tucci.
Definitely, the Coen universe was very prevalent. We stepped right into it, the story was… the words, the rhythm, the broadness, the farce. All of it was very much their signature. So, it was a lot of fun because you knew you could take those characters and make them broad, make them big.
