Jessica Alba is in negotiations to join the cast of the third Focker family movie.
The Hollywood Reporter says the ‘Sin City’ actress would join Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro in the comedy ‘Little Fockers’ as an attractive pharmaceutical rep whose allure wreaks havoc among male characters.
The comedy reportedly picks up where 2004’s ‘Meet the Fockers’ left off, with Stiller and Teri Polo’s characters, Gaylord Focker and Pamela Byrnes having a child, or children, as they may be expecting twins. Aside from Stiller, Polo and De Niro, who plays Pamela’s father Jack Byrnes, Owen Wilson and Blythe Danner are expected to reprise their roles as Kevin Rawley and Dina Byrnes, Pamela’s ex-fiance and mother, respectively. Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, who played Gaylord’s parents Bernard and Rozalind Focker in ‘Meet the Fockers,’ are not confirmed to return.
Jay Roach, director of the first two installments, will be taking the role of producer this time around and Paul Weitz will direct.
Production is expected to begin in the next few months.
Alba is also starring in the romantic comedy ‘Valentine’s Day,’ and alongside Danny Trejo in the Robert Rodriguez action thriller ‘Machete.’ As well, she will reportedly reprise her role as Nancy Callahan in the pending ‘Sin City 2,’ currently in preproduction.
