It’s been a while since actress Jessica Alba starred in a hit film. Fortunately, her string of bad luck may be coming to an end.
Alba is currently in negotiations to join actors Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro for the highly anticipated comedy, Little Fockers. She’s set to play the role of an attractive pharmaceutical rep whose looks wreck havoc on the male characters in the story.
The film is expected to pick up where 2004’s Meet the Fockers left off. If you need to refresh your memory, Stiller’s Gaylord Focker and Teri Polo’s Pamela Byrnes want to have a baby. Rumors are already spreading that the couple may have twins.
While Alba works on getting a deal, she’s already scheduled to star in the Robert Rodriguez thriller, Machete, as well as Garry Marshall’s romantic comedy, Valentine’s Day.
Production for Little Fockers will begin in the next few months, with a 2010 release date.
While this is a smart move for Alba, we’re not sure if this will increase her popularity in Hollywood.
