Diaz and Carrey diss script

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey have scrapped plans to reunite in the romantic comedy A Little Game just a few weeks before shooting was due to start.

Diaz and Carrey had been due to appear on screen for the first time since starring in 1994's The Mask, but pulled out because they were unhappy with the storyline.

The movie is a remake of the French film Un Petit Jeu Sans Consequence, based on a play by Jean Dell and Gerald Sibleyras.

The plot revolves around a couple who have been happily married for five years but decide to play a trick on their friends by pretending to break up.

They discover that most of their friends and family thought they never belonged together in the first place.
