The upcoming Netflix film “Back in Action” lived up to its title on Thursday, resuming production in Atlanta two days after star Jamie Foxx suffered a medical “complication.”
Photographers spotted Foxx’s stunt double, Travis Parker, subbing in for the ailing actor in a scene with Cameron Diaz on Thursday, according to TMZ. The site also reports Foxx had eight days of shooting remaining at the time of his health scare, but that production still plans to wrap filming next week as originally scheduled.
As of this time, it’s unclear if production will continue to use a stand-in for Foxx, rewrite scenes without his character, or cut certain scenes entirely.
People, meanwhile, reports that a casting director informed extras via email that a scene scheduled to film on Sunday has been canceled due to “changes in production.”
Foxx’s daughter Corinne Foxx posted a family statement about Jamie’s crisis in an Instagram post on Wednesday, saying that the Oscar and Grammy winner “experienced a medical complication” the day prior.
“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” the statement added. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
No further details about Jamie’s condition are available, but a source told People the actor is “stable.”
The “Back in Action” set was shut down on Wednesday, People adds.
The film marks a reunion for Foxx and Diaz, who previously shared the silver screen in 1999′s “Any Given Sunday” and 2014′s “Annie.”
The production, which shot scenes in London earlier this year, will also be a return to the screen for Diaz, who retreated from acting after playing Miss Hannigan in “Annie,” a cinematic adaptation of the musical of the same name.
Jamie explained to Entertainment Tonight in August how he lured Diaz out of retirement.
“Cameron is such an incredible force, and she has done so much in this business,” he said. “It was literally, ‘Do you want to have some fun? Just have some fun.’”
