that not only will Alba join Barely Lethal, she'll be playing the villain.  The picture centers on "Megan (Steinfeld), a teenage assassin who is hunted by a former associate after she fakes her own death and enrolls in a suburban high school."  Alba will play Victoria Knox, the aforementioned huntress.  She's also got a rather busy release schedule ahead of her, as she'll soon be seen in A.C.O.D.Stretch, and Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.
