Jodie Foster is set to return to our screens in a few films next year, and now there's news of another movie role which sounds slightly askew, and promises another darker character for her, a change I really enjoyed in Inside Man.

From Variety through Coming Soon comes the news of the other casting and the story:

Lost star Naveen Andrews and Mary Steenburgen to join Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard in The Brave One, the Neil Jordan-directed thriller about a woman struggling to recover from a brutal attack by setting out on a dark psychological and physical journey for revenge and justice.

Andrews will be Foster's Husband, and the tale sounds quite dark and has a promise to give Foster a slightly twisted role. It's a bit of a shame we see so little of her, and yet when she does arrive we're often treated to something special. Here's hoping that this is one of those occasions.
