Netflix has debuted the first official trailer for Trigger Warning, an upcoming action thriller that stars Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four; Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer; Sin City) in the lead role as a skilled Special Forces commando who takes ownership of her father's bar after he suddenly dies, and soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang running rampant in her hometown.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Alba expressed her excitement and inspiration for making this film. "I loved Die Hard. I loved Star Wars. I loved Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, all these movies I grew up with, but I always felt like I wanted to see the women kicking ass instead of always being saved."
In addition to Alba, the supporting cast features Mark Webber, Tone Bell, Jake Weary, Gabriel Basso, Anthony Michael Hall, Kaiwi Lyman, and Hari Dhillon.
Mouly Surya helmed the upcoming actioner, with a screenplay from John Brancato & Josh Olson and Halley Gross.
This is Jessica Alba's first acting role in nearly five years, having most recently appeared in the Bad Boys spinoff series L.A.'s Finest, which ran for two seasons. She's likely best known to CBM fans for portraying Sue Storm in 2005's Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - a role she has been quietly rumored to be reprising in this summer's Deadpool & Wolverine.
Her more prominent credits include, but are not limited to, Honey, Sin City, Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck, Meet Bill, The Love Guru, Machete, Little Fockers, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, Machete Kills, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Stretch, and Mechanic: Resurrection.
Trigger Warning starts streaming, exclusively on Netflix, on June 21!
Watch the official trailer below:
Special Forces commando Parker (Jessica Alba) is on active duty overseas when she gets called back to her hometown with the tragic news that her father has suddenly died. Now the owner of the family bar, Parker reconnects with her former boyfriend-turned-sheriff Jesse (Mark Webber), his hot-tempered brother Elvis (Jake Weary) and their powerful father Senator Swann (Anthony Michael Hall), as she looks to understand what actually happened to her dad.
Parker’s search for answers quickly goes south and she soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang running rampant in her hometown. Unsure of who she can truly trust, Parker draws on her commando training and proves herself a force to be reckoned with as she hunts down the truth and attempts to right what has gone wrong in Swann County, with the help of her covert ops partner and hacker Spider (Tone Bell) and connected local dealer Mike (Gabriel Basso). Directed by Mouly Surya, written by John Brancato & Josh Olson and Halley Gross, and produced by Erica Lee, Basil Iwanyk and Esther Hornstein, Trigger Warning also stars Kaiwi Lyman and Hari Dhillon.
