The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that production on the Netflix film Back in Action, starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, came to a halt after an attempted $40,000 scam involving Foxx.
The incident involved a worker on the film who may have been linked to past scams targeting wealthy celebrities.
The Sun reported that police were called to the set following the incident. The film has faced numerous challenges, including filming delays due to bad weather in London and firing at least one employee.
An investigation is currently underway into the attempted scam, which reportedly involved the offer of a Rolex watch.
“This film has been a bit of a nightmare,” a source reportedly told The Sun, citing filming delays due to bad weather in London as well as the firing of at least one employee.
“One staffer has been sacked, and there are investigations after someone tried to get access to £33,000 in cash from Jamie Foxx,” the source claimed. “It sounds as though they tried to offer up a Rolex watch as part of the deal but now there’s an investigation into everything going on.”
