Cameron Diaz goes raunchy for 'Bad Teacher'

Cameron Diaz is set to star in Columbia Pictures' upcoming raunchy comedy "Bad Teacher," which Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky ("The Office," "Year One") wrote. Jake Kasdan ("The TV Set") is directing.

Variety says Diaz will play the leading lady, a foulmouthed middle school teacher who gets dumped by her boyfriend and launches into a battle with a colleague for the affections of the school's top teacher.

Kasdan also directed "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story." Eisenberg and Stupnitsky are also penning the script for "Ghostbusters III." Diaz was last seen in "The Box," and she has "The Green Hornet" coming up.

Other recent credits of her include "My Sister's Keeper," which I didn't enjoy, "What Happens in Vegas," which I moderately enjoyed, and of course, "The Holiday" and "In Her Shoes." The lady sure has some talent!
