Chasing After the Girl

Jessica Alba is at that stage in her career in which she is no longer playing the girl but rather the gal chasing the girl, knowwhatImean.

So, with any luck, this will be a more interesting st(age) for the actress.

I enjoy her, so I hope so.

Up first is a villainous part in Barely Lethal opposite Hailee Steinfeld and Samuel L. Jackson.

Alba will play a sent-to-get-her former associate of the True Grit Oscar nominee, who plays a 16-year-old assassin whose only way out of her trade is to fake her own death.

Production on Barely Lethal is scheduled to begin October.
