Cameron Diaz will lead the cast of Columbia Pictures comedy “Bad Teacher.”
Story centers on a foulmouthed, gold-digging middle-school teacher (Diaz) who, after getting dumped by her boyfriend, competes with a colleague for the affections of the school's model teacher.
Jake Kasdan will direct the movie from the script written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (“The Office”) which Jimmy Miller will produce.
Production is set to begin in the spring in Los Angeles.
Diaz can next be seen in Michel Gondry-directed superhero film “The Green Hornet,” “Knight and Day” and will voice Fiona in “Shrek Forever After.”
