Jodie Foster is all set to sign up for the leading role in the new Fox 2000 Anna and the King movie - and make herself one of Hollywood's top earners in the process. According to Variety, Foster is demanding $15 million to star opposite Chow Yun Fat in the third film based on the story of British teacher Anna Leonowens' experience in the palace of the Siamese King in the mid 19th century. The film is reportedly not a remake of the 1946 film Anna and the King of Siam or the classic Yul Brynner musical The King & I, but is based on new research including Leonowens' diaries. If Foster gets her way, she will join Julia Roberts as the best paid actress in Tinsel Town.
