Universal Pictures has pegged Jodie Foster to star opposite Denzel Washington and Clive Owen in "Inside Man," Imagine Entertainment's new drama that will be directed by Spike Lee reports Variety.
Brian Grazer is producing and Russell Gewirtz has scripted the drama which pits a cop against a clever bank robber who's trying to pull off the perfect heist, and finds himself in the middle of a hostage situation. Foster will play a well-connected lawyer/power broker who is brought in to represent certain behind-the-scenes interests, complicating an already tense standoff.
The project will shoot in early summer. Foster's last lead role was in 2002's "Panic Room" and will next be seen in the Robert Schwentke-directed thriller "Flight Plan" this Fall.
