Posted on February 8, 2010 (Tammy)
Lucy Punch’s burgeoning career got another boost with the announcement she will star opposite Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher.
Punch, 32, is an up-and-coming actress who is shooting Woody Allen’s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger in place of Australian superstar Nicole Kidman.
Punch has now been cast with Diaz in the black comedy to be directed by Jake Kasdan that is scheduled to start shooting next month in Los Angeles.
Punch and Diaz in Bad Teacher square off as two teachers who exemplify rebel and model. Diaz plays the rebel who goes after a colleague on the rebound from a sugar daddy.
Punch next appears in the Jay Roach’s Dinner for Schmucks in July. You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is set for a September release.
