Cameron Diaz has her sights set on revenge…

The half-Cuban American actress, Hollywood’s highest-paid Latina actress, is attached to star in Fox’s female revenge comedy The Other Woman, according to TheWrap

Written by Melissa Stack, the film tells the story of a woman who finds out she is the other woman in a love triangle. She meets up with the wife in order to conspire and get revenge against the husband.

Kristen Wiig is also under consideration for a role in the film, according to a Diaz representative.

The high-concept story is similar to The First Wives Club, but with a younger skew.

Diaz’s recent credits include What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Shrek Forever After and Bad Teacher. Her upcoming films include Agent Century 21 and Gambit.

Cameron Diaz is running the gambit with an Oscar-winning actor…

The 40-year-old half-Cuban American actress is starring as a cowgirl opposite Colin Firth in the comedy Gambit, which saw the release this week of the film’s first trailer on the United Kingdom’s ITV.

Gambit sees Firth playing a long-suffering employee who grows tired of being intimidated by his eccentric boss, played by Harry Potter’s Alan Rickman, and decides to seek revenge.

It’s a remake of the 1966 movie of the same name; it follows Firth’s character Harry Dean who plans to steal a statue from one of the world’s richest men. His master plan, however, is missing one major component: the involvement of a beautiful woman to act as his gambit.

Dean then meets PJ Puznowski (Diaz), someone who appears to be the perfect candidate. But Dean himself becomes enraptured with her, causing his plan to take a series of wrong turns.

Directed by Michael Hoffman, Gambit—which co-stars Tom Courtenay, Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman—doesn’t have a U.S. release date in the U.S. yet.
