We will be seeing more of Jodie Foster over the next couple of years, and that’s almost always a good thing, since she’s an actress who generally chooses her roles carefully. The two-time Oscar winner has just signed on to star in Elysium, a sci-fi follow up to Neill Blomkamp’s acclaimed Disctrict 9, according to Deadline. Matt Damon is also slated to star in the film, which is looking like it will get a 2013 release. There’s no word on the plot just yet.
Foster was last seen on the big screen in the kids’ movie Nim’s Island but look for her this April in the film she directed and stars in with the polarizing Mel Gibson. The always welcome Cherry Jones costars.
Also, Foster has signed on to star in Roman Polanski’s celluloid incarnation of Yasmina Reza’s Tony-winning drama God of Carnage, which costars Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly.
Here’s to seeing more of Jodie!
