Since her break-out, Oscar-nominated role in True Grit, Hailee Steinfeld hasn’t quite lived up to that Coens feature with Ender’s Game, 3 Days to Kill and various other projects. She’ll get another chance this summer, taking part in three films: Pitch Perfect 2, Ten Thousand Saints and Barely Lethal. We now have a trailer for the lattermost, which is directed by Kyle Newman (Fanboys).

The film stars Steinfeld as a young international assassin who yearns for a “normal” adolescence, prompting her to fake her own death and enroll in a suburban high school. Jessica Alba plays Victoria, Megan’s former handler and current nemesis, who enlists Heather (Sophie Turner) to go undercover at the high school and reacquire the runaway. Also starring Samuel L. Jackson, Dove Cameron, Thomas Mann, and more, the trailer has an awkward mix of tones, but hopefully it’ll be enjoyable. Check it out below.

Barely Lethal arrives on May 29th.
