Hailee Steinfeld Stars in First Trailer for Kyle Newman's 'Barely Lethal'

“She will destroy you!” Don’t mess with Hailee. We’ve been curious about this new movie from Fanboys director Kyle Newman, called Barely Lethal, and now we have a first look by way of a trailer. Hailee Steinfeld stars as Megan Walsh in a Hit-Girl-esque story about a young trained assassin who tries to return to normal life (and high school) and fit in. She’s joined in the cast by Jessica Alba, Samuel L. Jackson, Dan Fogler, Jaime King, Sophie Turner, and Thomas Mann from Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. I hate to say it, but this looks a bit cliche though I’m not sure if we should blame the trailer editing or what. I’m still curious to see it but not sure how it’s different than the Hit-Girl story we got in the Kick-Ass movies. ›››
