Jessica Alba films in Edmonton

The Invisible Woman has appeared in Edmonton.

Actress Jessica Alba, who played Sue Storm in 2005's Fantastic Four, is currently in Edmonton filming for Good Luck Chuck, a new romantic comedy due out later this year, according to the Internet Movie Database.

The film co-stars comedian Dane Cook, who plays a dentist who's unlucky at love. His character, the titular Chuck, has a knack for breaking up with girls only to see them become engaged to the next guy they date. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Alba, who, in reality, probably holds that honour amongst many men), Chuck is determined to break the cycle and win her for himself.

Cook and Alba have some experienced local co-stars shooting scenes with them at Film Alberta Studio on the city's south side – 15 African penguins from West Edmonton Mall.

"African penguins are considered a tropical species, which is why they're so easily used in filming," explains West Edmonton Mall spokesman Kimberly Evans. "The filmmakers couldn't find them anywhere else."

Alba, Cook and the penguins could not be reached for comment. (Source:Edmonton Sun)
