Jodie Foster Surprised to Learn About 'Inside Man 2'

A month ago, it was reported that Terry George (Hotel Rwanda) was writing a script for Inside Man 2, a sequel I think most people could agree upon. Spike Lee would return, as would Clive Owen. So far, at least, there has been no discussion about Denzel Washington's place in a sequel, and Jodie Foster hasn't been mentioned, either.

MTV has talked to Foster who seemed completely unaware that a sequel was even being discussed, much less written.

"You have some dope I don’t know about," queried Foster, adding, "Are you writing it or something?"

Jodie did sound interested in the possibility of a sequel, which in one sense is very peculiar since she wanted nothing to do with Hannibal. "I loved that movie; it was a really fun experience for me," she said of Inside Man. "It was the quickest film I think I ever shot. I think I worked for four days or something, and to work with Denzel Washington is a dream that everybody has."

Tailoring a message specifically for Spike, Foster proclaimed, "From your mouth to his ears, of course I would love to."

As big a star as Denzel is, and despite the fact that he was the co-lead in the first film, I think the dynamic between Foster's hard-as-nails "fixer" and Clive Owen might have more life to it. And Foster was absolutely blazing in that movie; she really sold what would otherwise have been a rather perfunctory role.
