SIN CITY stunner Jessica Alba has joined the cast of soon-to-shoot comic action-thriller BARELY LETHAL. The film is being directed by Kyle Newman, best known for the enjoyable FANBOYS.
The plot centres on an 16-year-old international assassin (to be played by TRUE GRIT’s Oscar-winner Hailee Steinfeld) forced back into action by her employer Samuel L. Jackson after yearning for “normal” adolescence, having faked her own death to enroll in a suburban high school.
Alba will take on the lead villain of a mysterious women Victoria Knox. She’ll next be seen on the big-screen in Robert Rodriguez’s MACHETE KILLS. BARELY LETHAL is being produced by Brett Ratner, RKO and Hopscotch Pictures and is expected later next year.
