Jessica Alba will get $3 million to star in and produce the Regency Enterprises SF drama Sonic, written by newcomer Kirsten Elms, Variety reported. Sonic is set in the not-too-distant future and follows a young waitress who dies suddenly, but is brought back to life by her lover, the trade paper reported.

Alba (Fantastic Four) and her Thruline Entertainment manager Chris Henze have been developing the project with producers John Davis and Wyck Godfrey after reading it as a writing sample for another project earlier this year, the trade paper reported. Alba and Henze will executive produce, while Davis and Godfrey will produce.
