Jodie Foster

I heard that Flora Plum was supposed to star Ewan McGregor and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ewan was attached after Rusty's injury:

2003/9/4. From comingsoon.net. Still No Start Date for Jodie Foster's Flora Plum Source: Los Angeles Daily News Thursday, September 4, 2003 The Los Angeles Daily News reports that Jodie Foster's delayed Flora Plum is still without a start date or green light. Foster was originally scheduled to direct the Depression-era circus drama in 2000, with Russell Crowe and Claire Danes starring. Jodie says the film is "very much in line with the stuff I love, very personal -- about artists and how they create families and destroy them." The trade reports that Ewan McGregor, Meryl Streep and Claire Danes are still attached if the right deal can be found. Also, the movie is expected to have a lower budget than when it was close to going ahead the first time.

... not sure about Gwynnie. IMDb lists it as in production, but according to the USA Today article about her from last week, it's on hold.

FotoStoreSheila I remember hearing about that too, so either it happened, or we are sharing hallucinations.

Michael Musto discusses JF's appearance on Ellen:

JODIE FOSTER's appearance on Ellen this Monday provided a potpourri bowl full of lesbian content—subtextually, anyway. First off, the two ladies admitted they hang out in the same places ("I see you at the market," Jodie interestingly remarked to ELLEN.) Then they talked about Jodie's butch mama character in Flightplan ("This was written for a man," she confessed.) And getting more intimate, they discussed how, when she was the Coppertone girl in a commercial, they'd put treats in Jodie's pants to make the dog pull 'em down. "Does the Coppertone girl still have treats in her pants?" wondered Ellen. "I'm sure she does," exclaimed Jodie, who then got all uncomfortable and smiled, "I don't want to continue with that line of questioning."

I stayed home yesterday and watched Ellen. Maybe I'm dense, but I didn't get any "lesbian subtext" in their conversation at all. I thought Jodie was charming.

I saw that Ellen episode too, and I didn't get it either.

In Flight Plan, the camera did not do Jodie any favors. All her facial flaws, lines and ruddy complexion were on view. But it so added to the character's condition and dilemma. I was pleased and felt my 8 bucks were worth it on a tight, taut, thriller.

He makes it sound like there's some special market that only caters to lesbians. What a tool. Hey, maybe it's the one near me - I've seen Kristy McNichol there a few times.

Michael Musto is an old queen with no access to real gossip.

This is amazing...how many posts, and not ONE negative word about Jodie. That must mean that she surely is the example that the others could only wish to emulate.
