With production under way on Netflix’s planned reboot of 2004 Jennifer Garner-starring rom-com ‘13 Going on 30,’ the cast is growing.

‘Honey’ star Jessica Alba is the latest addition to the ensemble.

The new movie sees Emily Bader and Logan Lerman in the starring roles, and keeping it even more in the Netflix family, the movie will see Bader reunite with her ‘People We Meet on Vacation’ director Brett Haley.

Garner, meanwhile, is an executive producer on the new film, but we could envision her popping up for a quick cameo.

The 2004 incarnation focused on Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen), a 13-year-old girl who magically wakes up as her 30-year-old self and must navigate adulthood while rediscovering who she really is.

Garner played the grown-up version of the character, acting opposite the likes of Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer.

While Bader and Lerman have the Garner and Ruffalo roles, Alba’s role has yet to be disclosed.

What else is Jessica Alba working on?

Most recently seen in Netflix action movie ‘Trigger Warning,’ Alba has worked on ‘Maserati: The Brothers’ with Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins and Justin Chadwick’s ‘The Mark.’
