Mouly Surya, the Indonesian filmmaker behind the 2017 Cannes entry Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts, will direct from a script by Josh Olson and John Brancato, while John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk will produce via his Thunder Road banner along with Erica Lee.
Alba will serve as an executive producer on the hard-hitting action-thriller, which will find her playing a traumatized veteran who inherits her grandfather's bar, only to be faced with a moral dilemma after discovering the truth behind his untimely death.
Alba broke out playing a genetically enhanced super-soldier in James Cameron's Fox series Dark Angel before going on to star in the Sin City films as well as Machete and Tim Story's Fantastic Four movies, so she's well versed in kicking some ass onscreen. She currently stars alongside Gabrielle Union in the action-packed Bad Boys spinoff LA's Finest, a Spectrum Original series that will see its second season broadcast on Fox.
Alba is also set to executive produce and host a Disney+ documentary series titled Parenting Without Borders.
