Jodie Foster is stepping behind the camera again as she is attached to direct Money Monster, according to Variety, which mixes the current interest in bringing those in financial circles to account, and a hostage drama.
Money Monster is about Lee Gates, a TV personality whose insider trading tips have made him the money guru of Wall Street. However, when Kyle, a viewer who lost all of his family’s money on a bad tip from Lee, holds Lee hostage on air, ratings soar as the entire country tunes in to this media frenzy to find out just how much a man’s life is worth.
Production is scheduled to start in early 2013, with casting due to begin immediately (it isn’t known if Foster is planning to take a role).
