On talking puppets and killer tattoos
In her latest acting and directing project, The Beaver, Jodie Foster tells the story of a man (Mel Gibson) and his collapse into depression to the point that he develops another personality in the form of a talking beaver puppet that quickly winds up taking control of his life.
You can check out the full video interview with Foster and co-star Anton Yelchin over at Shock Till You Drop’s sister site, ComingSoon.net, but, as you can see in the video below, we couldn’t resist asking Ms. Foster about her previous on-screen relationship with an inanimate object’s imaginary personality: voicing a killer tattoo on a 1997 episode of “The X-Files” titled “Never Again”.
