Director Wes Anderson ("The Grand Budapest Hotel") has a knack for getting top-tier talent, like Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, or Tilda Swinton, for his movies. However, there's a leading actress he's struggled to get hold of. "For years, I've been chasing Jodie Foster for roles," Anderson admitted to Hollywood magazine, Collider.
He aimed for Foster in almost every movie of his, Anderson revealed. "I think I approached her for three films in a row, maybe four," he disclosed. But, she's consistently said no.
Longing to Collaborate with Foster
He chose not to reveal which movie(s) he approached Foster about. Despite the rejections, he still has aspirations of working with her. "Sometimes, owing to certain circumstances, people are attracted to different kinds of projects. And I guess, during that phase, we just didn't seem to be the right fit," he explained.
Wes Anderson's movies are known for their vibrant colors, unique aesthetics, and symmetrical compositions. Over the years, he's collaborated with stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, and more on films such as "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001), "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014), and "The French Dispatch" (2021). His latest feature, "The Phoenix Fortress," debuted in theaters in late May, starring Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
