Benicio Del Toro may not be the first name that comes to mind when it comes to action comedies, but he’s going for one and he and Cameron Diaz are both attached to star in Agent: Century 21. The film is written by Greg Brooker (Stuart Little) and will be directed by Adam Hashemi, who will make his feature film debut.
Crushed by her recent divorce, Mary Kay Curly (Diaz) cannot catch a break. Desperate to protect the two most important things in her life, her kids and her real estate agent job, Mary Kay agrees to take on an unpleasant task for her boss that accidentally gets her kidnapped and tossed into the centre of a Mexican drug war. Armed with little more than her maternal instincts and a streak of pure dumb luck, Mary Kay must overcome incredible odds and outsmart the FBI, various underground crime lords and an international terrorist organization- in time to make it home for dinner.
No prizes for guessing Del Toro will be involved in the Mexican drug war side of things. The movie is set to start shooting in September 2012. (Source: Variety)
