Wes Anderson Tried To Cast Jodie Foster In “So Many Movies”


Although Wes Anderson is no stranger to assembling a star-studded ensemble, one actress seems to be just out of reach.

The Oscar-winning director recently revealed that he’s unsuccessfully attempted to cast Jodie Foster in “so many” his films, but timing has never worked out in his favor. Marking his 13th feature, The Phoenician Scheme is now in theaters, starring Benicio del Toro as wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda, who becomes the target of a deadly pursuit after appointing his nun daughter, Sister Liesl (Mia Threapleton), as the sole heir to his estate.
