Pearce's action thriller features Foster as a nurse who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals in a near-future Los Angeles torn by riots
Jodie Foster
Actress Jodie Foster discovered "Hotel Artemis" on her own, says director Drew Pearce. "The casting of Jodie Foster was incredible, as she actually discovered the script on her own and reached out to us about the role," Pearce said in a statement to IANS.
"Don't ask me how she got it -- officially it hadn't even left the office. Which is very in-keeping with the Artemis, to be fair," he added. "Hotel Artemis" marks Foster's first acting project since 2013's "Elysium".
