Back in Action, the new Netflix movie starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, took the pair on a global adventure, with filming locations scattered across the world. The action-comedy, which marks Diaz’s return to acting after a decade-long hiatus, follows former CIA operatives Emily and Matt as they are thrust back into espionage.
One of the first locations to feature in the film is a picturesque mountainous country, which is likely Slovenia. The credits of Back in Action state that the film received a cash rebate from the Slovenian Film Center, indicating that the plane crash sequence was likely filmed in the country. It’s unclear if Foxx and Diaz were on location in Slovenia or if body doubles were used for the on-set shots.
A significant portion of the film was also shot in Atlanta, Georgia, with both on-location and studio filming taking place. The production team traveled extensively, capturing scenes in various locations, including famous historical landmarks and unexpected Alpine countries.
Back in Action follows Emily and Matt as they navigate a complex web of espionage, encountering assassins, leading chaotic car chases, and facing off against villainous characters. The film’s release date is January 17, 2025, and it features a star-studded cast, including Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, and Andrew Scott.
