True Detective’s fourth season is going to the Arctic with Jodie Foster as the lead

Though Jodie Foster has built a name for herself leading thrillers on the silver screen, her next big project’s going to be something a bit different. Deadline reports that Foster has signed on to True Detective’s fourth season to portray Liz Danvers, a detective tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearances of six people from a research station in Ennis, Alaska. While Danvers is up for the task of figuring out where went wrong near the Tsalal Arctic Research Station, she and her partner arrive in Ennis just as the region’s long winter night and its all-encompassing darkness begin to set in.

In addition to starring as Danvers, Foster will also executive produce this chapter of True Detective alongside Barry Jenkins, and the season will be written and directed by Issa López.

I'll admit, my 1st thought was "is this just going to feel like Silence of the Lambs"?  Then I remembered that it's Jodi F'ng Foster, and that movie was 30 years ago.  She's not going to play like a wet-behind-the-ears rookie.  I'm excited!

I didn’t know there was a third season…. Or don’t want to know….
Third season was considerably better than the second, but not as good as the first. Worth the watch IMHO.

Wish they had just kept on with season 1 cast each season after. Season 2 was so weird with random (good) cast that I can't even remember what it was about.

Sounds dumb.  Running out of ideas on how to recapture the isolation, backwoods feel of season 1.   True Fargo.  

Well, I’ve got an idea how they could have done that.

If the pattern continues we can expect meh or slightly bad.

Great then bad the good so The whatever.

Pizzilato was hailed as such a genius after s1. I thought it worked because it was single writer, director, show runner. I think that can work again.

interesting! the psychological effects of endless daylight were well played in Insomnia, practically a character itself...i think i've only seen the focus on the endless nights in horror/sci-fi movies. 

i read a murder mystery set in the Canadian arctic once and it was fascinating. 

Foster hasn't done much in the past few years.

That first season just sticks with you...anyone who watched can remember it vividly (esp boobs) and quote parts still. And hell it still creeps me out. When I see creepy shit while hiking I think Carcosa. Lol

Down for a new season though. Jodie should bring it.

Season 1 was obviously fire 

season 2 was awful and “I still don’t get it” (Tom Hanks BIG voice)

season 3 was excellent (not as good as season 1 obviously but awesome)

season 4: Jodi foster will kill it. She’s a great actor. Can’t wait

Pizzilato was absolutely not the director and show runner of Season 1.  He was just the writer. Cary Fukunaga, of No Time to Die, was the director. 
 

They gave Pizzolato the keys to everything for Season 2 and he produced a pile of shit.

My Alzheimer’s keeps rewiring my memories. Next you’re going to tell me Rock Hudson wasn’t in S2.

I've been in love with Jodie Foster since Freaky Friday.  No way I'm not watching this, even if she hates on my gender.

Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff make the show. The writing was solid if a little stiff but the tremendous performances make the watch worth it.

Jodie Foster hates trans people? I never knew...

For the Jodie Foster fans, she was the narrator on a good documentary I recently watched on Sundancenow about Heddy (not Hedley) Lamarr. The doc was excellent on its own but if you like Jodie so much that you'd jerk it to her voice, well...

Heddy was a fascinating, accomplished woman.  I'll check that out.

Yeah I thought this sounded like a reverse Insomnia type thing. Maybe Northern Exposure with a homicidal maniac or two thrown in there

Same here. Besides being a beautiful accomplished actress, she was a brilliant inventor. Basically came up with spread spectrum and frequency hopping. I’m amazed there hasn’t been a movie or series about her life.

I knew squat about her but after watching the documentary, I agree, you and Augustus are absolutely correct. We watched it while my mom was here for a visit -- the entire family enjoyed it, and found it surprising and fascinating.

My God, how old am I that Jodie Foster is looking old?

 

The last thing I remember seeing her in (and I absolutely loved her in it) was the Spike Lee film Inside Man with Clive Owen and Denzel.  Great film.
