Jessica Alba is out for vengeance in the new trailer for Trigger Warning. For her first movie in five years, the Dark Angel star will play a woman meting out justice at the blade of a machete. The new Netflix actioner will premiere on the streamer on June 21.
In the new trailer for Trigger Warning, (not to be confused with the Killer Mike docuseries of the same name), Alba plays Parker, a former Special Forces operative afflicted with PTSD. She returns to her dusty hometown to take over the family bar after the death of her father, only to find out that his death was connected to a violent local gang and crooked politician Senator Swann (Anthony Mchael Hall, The Breakfast Club). She's also going to need to figure out if her ex-boyfriend Jess (Mark Webber, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), who's both the town sheriff and Swann's son, is friend or foe. Either way, Parker is going to need to call on her Special Forces skills and connections to get to the bottom of this – the trailer sees her take down a gang of would-be thieves, one of them wielding a chainsaw, to the strains of Moby's "Natural Blues".
Who Are the Creatives Behind Trigger Warning?
In addition to Alba, Hall, and Webber, Trigger Warning will also star Jake Weary (Animal Kingdom), Tone Bell (Survival of the Thickest), and Gabriel Bassso (The Night Agent). It will be helmed by Indonesian director Mouly Surya (Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts), in her English-language debut. The film's script is by John Brancato (The Game), Josh Olson (A History of Violence), and Halley Gross (Westworld). It was produced by Thunder Road Films and Lady Spitfire, and will feature a score by Enis Rotthoff (Guns Akimbo).
Trigger Warning will be Alba's first film since 2019's Killers Anonymous. She also starred in the Spectrum-original Bad Boys spinoff TV series L.A's Finest alongside Gabrielle Union; it was canceled in 202 after two seasons. Much of her time has been spent on her personal-care products business venture, The Honest Company; Alba stepped down from the company's board earlier this year.
Trigger Warning will be released on Netflix on June 21, 2024. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the new trailer for Trigger Warning below.
Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
