Jackson portrays Megan?’s mentor, Hardman.

Last year, ComingSoon.net spoke with Turner about her varied career, including her performance in Barely Lethal.

“It was so crazy to go and do something like ‘Barely Lethal’ where all the lead actors, other than Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Alba, were under 22,” she said. “We were so immature and so crazy and had so much fun. We had this director as well called Kyle Newman, who is like a big kid himself. It was crazy but we had a really great time.”
