NEW YORK - Parallels to Martin Scorsese's dark classic "Taxi Driver" led
Jodie Foster to take a role in her new movie, "The Brave One."

The 1976 film portrays a cabby driven to madness amid a crime-ridden and
debt-filled New York City climate. The newer film is a story about living
with fear in New York after Sept. 11.
"When I first read the script, honestly, it didn't remind me enough of
'Taxi Driver,'" Foster said in an interview published in this week's
Newsweek. "That was one of my issues with it. There was all this room for
something more beautiful."
Foster, who was in "Taxi Driver" as a 13-year-old, stars as Erica Bain, a
radio host who survives an attack that kills her fiance. Afterward, she
learns to use a gun and finds situations in which to use it.
The two-time Oscar winner spoke to Newsweek last summer, on the film's
set in Brooklyn. The Warner Bros. release opens Sept. 14.
