  • Jessica Alba Talks Four, Sin & Awake
    By Garth FranklinSaturday October 1st 2005 9:24am
    Sexy former "Dark Angel" star Jessica Alba continues doing well this year and recently spoke about "Into the Blue", the scuba diving thriller she shot in the Bahamas with Paul Walker that finally scored a release this past Friday. During the interview with Latino Review, talk came up about potential sequels to her big hits this year and her next project:

    Are they talking about "Fantastic Four" sequels yet?

    Jessica Alba: Yeah, they are. They are. They're not telling me anything about them but I heard through the grapevine that they're talking about it.

    Rumor is you've inspired a few new yarns in "Sin City"?

    Jessica Alba: Frank [Miller, creator/co-director] is like a big Hollywood star now. He's like being offered all these things to direct and write. I had dinner with him and he had some pretty damn cool ideas about Nancy and I think he's going to write something for me if he is. I mean he said he was. Who knows? He might do it as a graphic novel first and then release it simultaneously. I don't know.

    Can you talk a little bit about "Awake"?

    Jessica Alba
    : It's about anesthetic awareness which is what happens when you go under for surgery, get put under for anesthesia and they don't give you enough for your body weight. Basically you're body is asleep, like it should be, but your mind is awake. So you hear and you can feel the entire surgery. The whole time you can't say anything. You can't talk. You can't move. You can't cry. You can't do anything. You just have to suffer through it until it wears off. It happens to people... So Hayden Christensen's character goes through this whole thing. My character, we're engaged for six months. We've been together for a year and when he gets a call that he got a heart, it's available and he can have this heart transplant, he's like, I'm going to do something for myself. We're going to get married because our relationship he's been keeping a secret from his mother. So then the mother, in the waiting room with me, finds out that we got married and I'm her assistant. And he's like a billionaire. So she doesn't trust my character and thinks it's weird She's always been coddling him his whole life and she doesn't want to let go. Then while he's in surgery, he has flashbacks to their relationship and how it started and why it means so much. She's the reason why he lives through this terrifying experience.

    She was also asked about the talk of her attachment to an "I Dream of Jeannie" adaptation - "I've definitely met a couple times with Sony and we've talked about it. The script is just not in the shape that I would want it to be in if I was going to do it. I want to do the show and I want the charm of the show. I don't want to do a version of the modern thing. No. People want to see Jeannie, and so that's all the conversations have been about".
