MANILA, Philippines - “Annie and Jay are a married couple who are 10 years down the road. They have two kids and they find themselves in that part of the relationship where they’re not doing their best to keep it alive. They have a very happy marriage, but like a lot of couples, there’s just no time to have sex,” says Cameron Diaz, who re-teams with her Bad Teacher co-star, Jason Segel, in Columbia Pictures’ outrageous new comedy Sex Tape.
“So Annie comes up with this idea — let’s make a sex tape. It’ll be exciting, it’ll be fun and then we’ll erase it.”
“They film it on their iPad to watch once and — theoretically — erase it,” says Jason. “But Jay doesn’t erase it right away. And then there’s a cloud malfunction resulting from Jay’s use of a new app. Now, there are a bunch of people who should not have the sex tape who have the sex tape.”
And so begins a wild night of adventure as Annie and Jay try to return the video to the deleted items bin where it belongs — but in the tension of the chase, the truths of their relationship will come to the fore. “The movie is about the challenges of marriage, and trying to keep it fresh,” Cameron continues. “Losing the sex tape is something that might cost them, but instead it ends up strengthening the relationship — reminding them of the team they’ve always been.”
Opening today in theaters, Sex Tape is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
