Jessica Alba looks set to join the cast of Little Fockers; the third instalment in the Ben Stiller / Robert De Niro-starring comedy saga that began with Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers.
According to The Hollywood Reporter she'll play an "attractive pharmaceutical rep" (maybe she strayed in from Love and Other Drugs) who casts some kind of siren spell over Ben, Robert and third series regular Owen Wilson.
Also confirmed to reappear are Teri Polo as Stiller's spouse Pamela, and Blythe Danner as Dina, De Niro's other half. The original script was by Larry Stuckey, who was a producer on Meet the Fockers and co-wrote the pure comedy gold that is Elling, but has since been given a pass by Stiller regular John Hamburg. Jay Roach is taking a back seat this time as producer, with Paul Weitz directing.
There's still no official word as to whether Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand will reprise their roles from the first sequel. Fingers crossed. Production starts shortly for an expected 2010 release.
