Jodie Foster, 47, is more straight-laced that one might think.
The actress and former owner of a movie production house likes to stick to linear storytelling, which these days seems “too boring” for independent movies.
She offered this up as an explanation for why she doesn’t act in the kinds of indie films she has produced.
“I don’t think I’m well suited for them. I like doing films that are about solitary characters. I like a singular journey, as an actress – I like a linear portrait, and those things aren’t hugely ‘indie movies’.”
Foster, best known as Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs, founded a production company in 1992, Egg Pictures, that primarily made indie flicks. The company closed, however, in 2001.
Foster next stars opposite Mel Gibson in a black comedy titled The Beaver. Gibson, she told the Los Angeles Times, can do anything. She said: “He is crazy and wild, he has that wildness and the madness, but he is also an incredibly disciplined storyteller.”
