Jessica Alba is preparing to take on a new film project…

The 44-year-old half-Mexican American actress and entrepreneur’s Lady Metalmark Entertainment has closed a deal with Netflix for an untitled R-rated female ensemble comedy, which she’ll star in and produce alongside partner Tracey Nyber.

Jessica AlbaThe project stems from an original pitch, inspired by business retreats that Alba has attended over the years as an entrepreneur.

Madison Vanderberg will adapt the screenplay, drawing on her extensive experience in female workplaces as a journalist for various women’s lifestyle sites.

“As a successful entrepreneur, I’ve had years of first-hand experience with corporate culture and the irony/absurdities that can lie between the lines as a female executive,” Alba told Deadline. “We were thrilled by Madison’s approach to this subject. She exquisitely highlights those elements that are ridiculous while creating indelible characters who are trying to navigate the world of modern corporate culture – all while still holding onto their humanity. Netflix is the perfect partner on this project – they are leaders in the field of comedy and have nurtured many of the strongest female comedians of the last decade.”

Said Vanderberg, “Having spent many years in women’s media working exclusively with and for women, I jumped at the chance to mine those experiences and to work with Jessica and Netflix on this comedy about a unique sisterhood of alpha female execs.”

Alba created Lady Metalmark in 2024 with a mission to cultivate diverse, female-driven, and culturally rich storytelling across film, television, and digital media.

The R-rated comedy brings her back to Netflix following her work producing and starring in their thriller Trigger Warning, which debuted at #1 in 67 countries and has been viewed over 91 million times globally. The third season of Honest Renovations, a hit unscripted series at Roku which she created, executive produces and hosts with Lizzy Mathis, premieres August 14.

Upcoming, she’ll also be seen starring opposite Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, and Al Pacino in the film Maserati: The Brothers from Oscar winner Bobby Moresco.

She uses the mix-up to expose a powerful network of corrupt politicians, placing Ben in the crosshairs of the CIA, Interpol, and ruthless crime syndicates.

Jessica Alba has joined a royal project…

The 43-year-old half-Mexican American actress and Tracey Nyberg’s Lady Metalmark Entertainment has boarded Queens, Switzerland’s official selection for the international feature Oscar, as executive producer.

Jessica AlbaThe film follows two teenage sisters living in Peru in 1992 as the country slides into political unrest. They are about to leave with their mother to live in the U.S. but they need their father to sign consent papers — he’s been absent for years but now he decides to win back his two “queens.”

Abril Gjurinovic, Gonzalo Molina, Luana Vega and Jimena Lindo star. The film won the Audience Award at this year’s Locarno Film Festival and the Grand Prix in Generation Kplus at the Berlinale, after world premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.

Reynicke, who co-wrote the screenplay with Diego Vega Vidal, drew on her own experience of leaving Peru as a young girl during a period of political turmoil in the early 1990s. She now lives in Switzerland, and the film is a Swiss-Peruvian co-production.

The film is a great fit for actor, producer and businesswoman Alba, who founded the Honest Company. Her shingle Lady Metalmark Entertainment is committed to work with diverse artists and to champion female-driven, culturally diverse and Latino inspired stories.

“We are honored to join Klaudia Reynicke’s extraordinary film Queens as executive producers,” said Alba and Nyberg in a joint statement. “This powerful story illuminates the unshakable strength of a mother’s love and her relentless drive to create a better future for her children. Capturing stellar performances amidst the rugged beauty of Lima, Peru, Klaudia is a filmmaker of exceptional talent — something we are excited for audiences to discover as they laugh and cry alongside Elena and her daughters, with a story that will resonate long after the credits roll.”

“In Queens, I wanted to craft a film that was both personal and universal, a story about sisterhood, identity, migration and love,” said Reynicke.  “Jessica Alba understands these themes on an emotional level, which is why having her as an executive producer feels like a dream. With her passion and heritage guiding the film, Queens becomes more than just a story, it’s a tribute to the strength of families and the hope that carries us forward. I am equally thrilled that her partner, Tracey Nyberg, is joining us as an executive producer, bringing her expertise and dedication to amplify the impact of this story. This collaboration is a testament to the power of women supporting each other to tell stories that matter — stories about childhood, parenthood, resilience, and the strength we find in hope.”
