According to WENN, Jessica Alba has signed on to star in the upcoming horror thriller, The Eye.

The film, being made by Cruise/Wagner Productions, will follow Allison (Alba), a woman who received an eye transplant that allows her to see into the supernatural world.

Alba will receive $4 million for her role in the film while Tom Cruise is not expected to play a part.


KJ's Take:  Production is supposed to get underway next month and the sooner the better!  The quicker this thing hits theaters, the quicker Alba is featured in Playboy.  Who's managing her career anyways?

who received an eye transplant that allows her to see into the supernatural world ?
what is it ? Constantine ! Come one ! One thing is amazing, after Into the blue and sin city she already get 4 millions !

Constantine was totally different, and KJ, she`s apparently never going to do Playboy(unfortunately) She sued them last year for trying to put her on the cover or something like that. She`s kind of a prude. A hot prude, but a prude none the less. Isn`t this, yet another ripoff of another better done Japanese horror flick?
Cruise, oh boy, they`ll probably change the story and have her visions be of the upcoming return of the Lord Xenon so that he may judge his faithful scientology disciples.

Yeah, ponyboy76, this is yet another Americanization of an Asia horror story, and that's probably the biggest reason I will wait to see this one on HBO. I know I'm probably in the minority, but The Ring and The Grudge and the rest of its ilk have just bored me silly. Sure, they have a few cool and creepy images, but there's no scare factor for me. Alba's sexiness is the only saving grace for this film.

Agreed ponyboy76. Unfortunately, she seems like one of those prudish tease actresses who will pose in next to nothing, but won't do nude scenes. That is, until her career tanks because she's too old and not a good enough actress to sustain a career based on talent. Then she'll do a nude scene when she can't pull it off. *sigh*

Don't want to spread the hate, but if this isn't a steaming pile I'll be shocked. The American film industry just can't seem to translate these Japanese horror hits, with the exception of the Grudge, I found that one to be a lot of fun, then they go any ruin it with that sequel.

Time to fess up, I'll see anything with JA in it, lol. didn't she get casted in this about 6 months ago? I hear it is filming in Albuquerque...time to put on my stalker shoes!

I'll agree she is hot, even very very hot, but I will not see this. I go to a movie for the movie, never for who's playing the part.

Hey K.J. I wouldn't hold your breath for this Latina to do Playboy anytime soon. She is too high up on the diva scale to do nude pictorials at this time.

Just wait until she is in her real late 30's or mid 40's, then she'll reconsider Playboy, that is, unless she maintains her youth for longer, then your wait will, of course, be longer.

Or... she does something that messes up her career real badly.

Or... some real slick movie producer convinces her to do a partial or full nude scene in a movie that will assuredly get her even far more bucks or fame, like an Oscar or both!

But at this point in time, not gonna happen!

The closest your get to Alba nude is at the end of the talents of some photoshopper. ;-)

They should call this the eye candy.
