Jessica Alba is currently shooting her upcoming horror movie The Eye in Vancouver, Canada, but managed to find the time to sit down with Entertainment Weekly to talk about her next project, comedy flick The Love Guru.

On what drew her to the project?
I mean, Mike Myers (director/writer). Are you kidding? He’s an amazing comedian. And oh my God, it would be an honor to work with him. The script is really funny: It’s about things having a soul. And there’s a Bollywood aspect to it.

What’s her character like?
She owns a hockey team that’s cursed in Toronto — they can’t win a game — and she basically gets the Love Guru to come in and help her star hockey player. She thinks he’s going through some emotional things and that’s why he isn’t playing well. On her family name is this curse, and she has a hard time dating men and a hard time with people, because everyone in Toronto is a huge hockey fan and they blame her family for ruining the game.
