The New York City premiere of Cameron Diaz’s comeback movie, “Back in Action,” on Thursday night has been canceled amid the Los Angeles fires.
“Due to the tragic fires we will be canceling our ‘Back in Action’ New York City premiere. We recognize many in our industry and their loved ones are currently affected and our thoughts are with them at this time,” Netflix said in a statement Wednesday night. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.”
After an 11-year hiatus from acting, Diaz returns to the big screen in the spy action comedy along with her “Annie” co-star Jamie Foxx . The movie follows Diaz and Foxx as a retired CIA agent couple, Emily and Matt, who find themselves out of the suburbs and back on the field when their cover is suddenly exposed.
“Back in Action” will premiere on Netflix on Jan. 17.
The premiere’s cancellation appears to be the first major New York City event no longer taking place because of the L.A. fires.
