New Movies: Release Calendar for October 21, Plus Where to Watch the Latest FilmsĤ2 Great Films That Failed at the Box Office Jodie Foster Sets First Major TV Role in 'True Detective: Night Country,' Season Set in AlaskaĪudacious Cannes Opener 'Annette' Is No Crowdpleaser (Incidentally, Foster’s new film is set in a clandestine hospital for criminals, but it’s one ruled by a number of rules, including “no guns.”) Now promoting her starring role in “ Hotel Artemis,” Foster took the occasion to return to the hot button issue. More than a decade after her role in “The Brave One” lead her to speak out about gun control, the topic remains at the forefront of America’s culture wars, and Foster is still advocating for the kind of legislation she touted back in 2007. “I have a thousand opinions, and I certainly give money and do a lot of things behind the scenes,” she said in a recent interview with IndieWire, “but it’s not my personality to believe that celebrities have the expertise to try to influence other people’s ideas or their feelings, politically.” However, she has a keen understanding of how the undertones of some of her features often fuel inherently political discussions. Oscar-winning actress and four-time director Jodie Foster doesn’t consider herself a political person.
