Jessica Alba is no stranger to action. The star of Dark Angel and Sin City has a long history of kicking butt on-screen, but in her new film Trigger Warning(which Alba also executive produced), she gets more than she bargained for.
“I haven’t really done hand-to-hand combat and intense action in such a long time,” Alba tells Tudum. And she means intense. Alba was determined to make Trigger Warning protagonist Parker into more than just a gunplay expert. Working with director Mouly Surya and the film’s stunt team, Alba incorporated Indonesian knife fighting into the film’s fight choreography, crafting sequences that would require fast thinking and movement. “For me, “I really wanted it to be a more intimate kind of fighting experience if I needed to take somebody out.”

Fantastic Four star Jessica Alba faced several challenges in her teenage years and she has been vocal about most of them. However, she kept one disturbing incident from her past close to her heart and never spoke about it publicly. When she was just 15 years old, Alba was kidnapped from the set of her show, Flipper, in 1996. She was later found bound and gagged inside the trunk of a car and her captor(s) were never brought to justice.

Jessica Alba was once one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but she has turned away from the limelight since. Her career was marked by highs and lows, and Alba enjoyed a lot of success at the height of her popularity.
The actress’ journey to stardom was not easy, though, and it took her years to open up about her troubles. What Alba endured during her teenage years was nothing short of horrific, and she still carries those scars to this day, with her experiences mirroring that of Sydney Sweeney’s.

Working on the science fiction series Dark Angel brought both Jensen Ackles and Jessica Alba their fair share of success, despite some ups and downs. Fox’s show, which starred Alba as super soldier Max Guevara escaping from government agents in a post-apocalyptic Seattle, was created by James Cameron and Charles H. Eglee and premiered in 2000.
During the second season, Ackles joined the show as Max’s fellow supersoldier, Alec McDowell (X5-494). The actors engaged in a lot of fighting during Dark Angel’s action sequences, but Ackles maintained that the tension between them was even greater off-screen.

Movie maker James Cameron was decades away from creating the Avatar franchise while he was developing the TV show Dark Angel. But working on the television series had an unforeseen influence on Avatar down the line.
How ‘Dark Angel’ was already influencing ‘Avatar’ twenty years before the movie franchise James Cameron | Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images
Cameron decided to explore the small screen in the year 2000 with the Fox sci-fi series Dark Angel. The show offered Jessica Alba her big break, and featured other familiar faces like NCIS’ Michael Weatherly and Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles. Dark Angel saw Alba playing a genetically enhanced superhuman in a futuristic scene with a somewhat similar tone to Terminator. One of the reasons he took the story to TV instead of film was because producing television offered more creative energy.

In 2005 and in 2007, director Tim Story made a pair of feature films starring the Fantastic Four, one of Marvel Comics' most superlative titles. "Fantastic Four," created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, was more or less a family sitcom except the three family members and their best friend all happened to have superpowers. It was light and comedic, while also featuring bloviating, demonstrative supervillains who shouted regularly about the glories of world domination. It was a comic book series that declared itself to be The World's Greatest Comics Magazine!
Story's feature film adaptations were not very well received when they were released. 2005's "Fantastic Four" only bears a 28% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while its sequel, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," only has a 38% approval rating.

Making a documentary set in a high school seems like an absolute nightmare. It’s a tightly contained setting with layers of bureaucracy, and all your potential subjects require heaps of parental clearances for themselves and anybody they happen to talk to. Plus, teenagers tend to be just a wee bit changeable, defying a traditional narrative arc.
It’s important that we realize how miraculous projects like Hoop Dreams and America to Me are.
Lucha: A Wrestling Tale, director Marco Ricci’s two-year chronicle of the women’s wrestling team at Taft High School in the Bronx, is, on many levels, a mess. It wants to be a story of individual students, a team, a school and even a borough, but owing primarily to issues of access and choices of focus, it struggles to achieve many of its biggest storytelling aspirations.

Actress Jessica Alba has reflected on her past style decisions. In a new TikTok clip shared by Bobbi Althoff, the podcaster talked to the actress, 42, about having an “awkward phase” while growing up.
As the video started, Althoff, 26, insisted Alba had skipped her “awkward phase” while the actress stated that the assumption was incorrect, reports ‘People’ magazine.
Still, Althoff felt that the ‘Dark Angel’ alum had the liberty of missing out on “a normal person’s awkward stage.”
“If I showed you pictures of me when I’m saying awkward, you would be like – you would look at me differently,” the host claimed.
Alba then shed light on how she actually got an early start on the so-called cringe rite of passage. “It’s so weird that I started using a curling iron and hairspray at age, like, five,” she confessed. “And no wonder I had so much asthma.”
