Cameron Diaz is attached to star in a new film that will serve as a sequel to the 1989 cult classic "Troop Beverly Hills." Clea DuVall, known for directing "Happiest Season," is set to write and direct the upcoming project for TriStar Pictures.
The original "Troop Beverly Hills" featured Shelley Long as a wealthy housewife who becomes a Wilderness Girls troop leader to bond with her daughter. The film, released in 1989, did not perform well at the box office and received negative reviews.
However, "Troop Beverly Hills" found a second life as a cult favorite through home video releases and repeated airings on The Disney Channel throughout the 1990s. Diaz will produce the new film with her business partner, Katherine Power, and producer Laurence Mark.
Diaz, who recently returned to acting after a decade-long hiatus, has several other projects in the pipeline, including "Outcome" and "Shrek 5."
