Foster Headed to Nim's Island

Lesbian fave and mother of two Jodie Foster is making a family film.

She's signed on to star opposite Abigail eslin and Gerard Butler (300) in Nim's Island, based on the novel by Wendy Orr.

Breslin plays a young girl who travels to a tropical island with her scientist father, only to be left alone when he has boat trouble.

She begins e-mailing the author of the book she's reading, and the writer helps her to fend for herself.
Eventually, the three of them team up to keep careless tourism companies away from the unspoiled area.

Foster's been working the mom angle lately in films like Flightplan and Panic Room, so it's no surprise that she's teamed up with producer Walden Films, the makers of kid-friendly flicks like Bridge to Terabithia and the Narnia movies.

Shooting starts this summer.
