Jodie Foster recently spoke with LA Times about the future of her directorial career.
Although it is still in it's early stages (doesn't even have a title yet), Jodie plans to direct a sci-fi thriller.
According to Foster:
"There's a family element to it, but it's much more a genre movie," she said. "I'd like to do that 'cause that's a world I live in as an actor but I've never really gone to as a director. I'd still have to have all the other stuff in a film. It can't just be, 'There's a bad guy, there's a monster.' It has to have all the other stuff too."-LA Times
Though Foster has directed a nice amount of films, the only thriller/horror related directorial experience she has, was directing an episode of the 80s classic horror television series "Tales from the Darkside"
In my opinion, I think Jodie Foster can pull of a GREAT sci-fi thriller. She has acted in them, and really knows the business.
What do you think? Can Jodie Foster present an awesome sci-fi thriller? Comment below telling my YOUR opinion.
Here is the full episode of Foster's thriller AND her directorial debut:
"Tales from the Darkside": "Do Not Open This Box"
Wait wasn't Jodie Foster in the movie Contact? Would that count as a sci-fi thriller or sci-fi drama?
