Troop Beverly Hills Sequel: Cameron Diaz Returns to the Wilderness Girls
Cameron Diaz is set to star in a sequel to the 1980s cult comedy Troop Beverly Hills, which is currently in development at TriStar Pictures. The plot details of the sequel are being kept under wraps, and the film will be directed by Clea DuVall from her own script. Laurence Mark will produce the movie alongside Diaz and her business partner, Katherine Power, who co-founded the organic wine brand Avaline.
Diaz is reuniting with Sony after her previous successful collaborations with the studio, including the Charlie's Angels reboot, The Holiday, and Bad Teacher. Troop Beverly Hills, released in 1989, was a star vehicle for Shelley Long and followed a Beverly Hills housewife leading a Wilderness Girls troop. The original film was produced by Ava Fries and directed by Jeff Kanew.
After a hiatus from acting, Diaz returned with the action-comedy Back in Action, which was a hit on Netflix. She will next be seen in Jonah Hill's dark comedy Outcome and will reprise her role as Princess Fiona in Shrek 5. Additionally, she is working on an action-comedy titled Bad Day and an untitled rom-com for Amazon MGM.
Clea DuVall, known for directing Happiest Season, has a successful career as an actor in various TV shows and films. She co-created and starred in Fox's animated series HouseBroken and directed the Sundance dramedy The Intervention. DuVall is represented by UTA and Ginsburg Daniels Kallis.
In conclusion, Cameron Diaz's upcoming project, the sequel to Troop Beverly Hills, promises to be an exciting addition to her filmography. With Clea DuVall at the helm and a talented team behind the scenes, fans can look forward to another entertaining comedy from the Hollywood star.
