Jodie Foster is looking to TV as a future site for her Oscar-winning talent, joining other big-screen stars who are finding television can pay off.
The 49-year-old actress and director says she is "developing a few things" likely destined for the small screen.
Jodie revealed: "I think I may spend some time on cable.
"I think it's a good outlet for what I do. What I do are personal stories and, in some ways, usually involve family and they have equal amounts of comedy and drama, sometimes an absurdist twist, and they're very verbal. And I like constructing complex characters and hopefully seeing this sort of tapestry of how they interact with each other over time evolve. Well, TV's the place for that."
Asked if she'd like to direct a series replied with a smile: "Maybe. You never know."
Jodie was speaking at Comic-Con, where she was promoting her next film role - starring opposite Matt Damon in Elysium, writer-director Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to his hit Oscar-nominated debut, District 9.
Due out next March, Elysium is set 150 years in the future in a world where Earth is polluted, diseased and overpopulated, so the wealthiest citizens create a utopic habitat in space.
Jodie wanted to work with Blomkamp after seeing District 9, which she called "a perfect film ... the movie I wish I would have directed."
She revealed said she intends to direct again, but hasn't found her next project. Her directorial credits include 1991's Little Man Tate, 1995's Home for the Holidays and last year's The Beaver, starring Mel Gibson.
"It's a long process," she said. "Because I do make personal films, they're hard to get off the ground, especially nowadays."
