Hayden Christensen, from Star Wars, and Jessica Alba star in Awake. It’s a freaky movie that might just be better than the remake of a Chinese ghost movie called The Eye, Jessica recently shot scenes for in Vancouver, Canada this summer. The release date according to Yahoo is November 30 and IMDB says February 26. I’ll go with Yahoo since releasing around Thanksgiving sounds about right. Here’s the synopsis:

During surgery, more than 60,000 people domestically each year experience "anesthetical awareness," a condition when anesthesia fails during surgery, leaving one completely conscious and feeling every incision, but paralyzed and incapable of doing anything about it. This is what happens to Clay.

Starring: Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba, Lena Olin, Terrence Howard, Sam Robards

In the movie Hayden contacts Jessica via an out-of-body experience so she can save him. Awake steals the out-of-body concept from a Reese Witherspoon movie called Just Like Heaven.

Jessica Alba has been filming the American remake of a Chinese ghost story called The Eye 2. The movie trailer is finally available. Click here to watch it. Below I’ve included scenes from the original The Eye, the first one in Chinese with English subtitles. The original is probably the scariest of them all. I’ve got The Eye. Woo, I’ve got goose bumps just thinking about it. DO NOT WATCH ALONE, unless you’re really brave like me.

HG got exclusive pictures of Jessica Alba, and shots of The Eye 2 set while they were filming at night in Vancouver, B.C. on August 18, 2007. Click here to see our exclusive pictures. You won’t see these pictures ANYWHERE else.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren were walking arm and arm on the beach in Pacific Palisades, California today, and you know what that means right? Dating, banging, or both. Cash obviously doesn’t scare easily. When I was taking pictures of Jessica in Vancouver, B.C. on Saturday while she was filming The Eye, I stood in a doorway next to a creepy older Caucasian guy with a baseball style cap on. I’ve seen his picture before, and from what I recall he’s a stalker. He told me that Jessica only rides in a white escapade, even though I hadn’t asked or said a word to him. It was weird. True story. Maybe the stalker is the reason Alba and Cash are keeping their relationship on the down low.

Yesterday I posted exclusive pictures of Jessica Alba that I took while in Vancouver, B.C. this past weekend, while she was on the set of the remake of The Eye in Chinatown there Saturday night. The picture below was taken yesterday of Jessica who is still in Vancouver enjoying this great city. One of Vancouver’s dirty secrets is only one street away from the China Gate where Jessica was filming, that next street is full of garbage, homeless people living on the sidewalk, and all the businesses boarded up. There’s still a lot to love about Vancouver, and it’s worth visiting over and over again.

On August 16 I reported that Jessica Alba was filming a remake of a Chinese ghost movie called The Eye. I just happened to be in Vancouver, B.C. this past weekend. I visited Chinatown on 8-18, and after driving through the Chinatown gate I immediately saw the movie set for the eye on the corner of West Pender Street and Carrall Street. Security there told me they were filming The Eye with Jessica Alba, and they didn’t want any pictures taken by anyone. There were no paparazzi allowed. Good thing I was just an innocent tourist, and even so it was tough to get any pictures.

The first nine pictures are of the the movie set which shows a burned out Chinese shop that looks real. People walking by made up stories about it saying things like the building had been burned out like that for 20 years, even though it was built just for filming that night. Staff said they would be shooting all night until 5 am. The filming took place just down the street from where 21 Jump Street with Johnny Depp was filmed.

They kept Jessica near a black tent during filming, and blocked off foot traffic with police far enough to make a good shot of her impossible during filming. Just around the corner right under the China gate sign was a parking lot with an iron fence around it. While walking by I noticed Jessica was standing beside a white van in slippers and a sweater. I snapped the picture above of her, then staff immediately rushed her into the van. They didn’t give any other opportunity for a good shot of her after that.

Pictures 11 and 12 show the set the next day on 8-19. That fake burned out building turned out to have just been the parking lot for Jack Chow Insurance. It looked so real.
