Jodie Foster goes behind the camera for 'Black Mirror'
Mark Kennedy, Associated Press. New York — The first movie that Jodie Foster ever directed was about a single mom raising a son.
Her latest project behind the camera is also about a single mom — but this time one who is raising a daughter.
For an episode of the Netflix series "Black Mirror," Foster had to dig deep into mother-daughter dynamics to tell the story of a mom so anxious about her girl that she turns to a sophisticated surveillance tool.
Foster is a mother of two boys — and her debut as a director was "Little Man Tate" in 1991 — so she reached back to how she interacted with her own mom and the push and pull that involved.
It's different with boys, she said.
"When you're raising a man, you're just so in awe at how different they are," she said. "It's just so amazing to you how different they are in every way — not just the physical ways, but how they think.
It's very easy to understand that they are separate from you. It's not so easy, I think, with female children.".
The "Black Mirror" episode, titled "ArkAngel," is part of season four of writer Charlie Brooker's anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world. Foster's episode stars Rosemarie DeWitt, whose credits include "La La Land" and "Mad Men.
DeWitt, who has two young daughters, plays the mom wrestling with the implications of eavesdropping on her daughter as she grows into a woman. The actress laughs about a "gentle tension" on the set.
"I sometimes felt Jodie was really rooting for the daughter and I was really rooting for myself. So we had this combustible thing," said DeWitt. "It's a really sticky relationship — mothers and daughters.".
Brooker's script intrigued both women with its ethical quandaries and rich characters. Foster likens the series to "The Twilight Zone," serving up twists and messy human reactions to technology.
"In some ways, the technology has outpaced our ethics and the ability for us to understand the monster that we've created," she said.
"Technology is kind of like a blender — it's just this inanimate object that doesn't have any feelings. It doesn't have a point of view.
It's just doing what we asked it to do and that's the part we have to be careful of.".
Foster, whose acting roles include "The Silence of the Lambs," "Inside Man" and "The Accused," said she was attracted to Netflix after finding Hollywood really only interested in big franchise films. "Real narrative is on streaming cable now," she said.
The episode marks the first time friends Foster and DeWitt have worked together and Foster said her leading actress "just inhabits a character in a way that feels completely and totally real.
Women are Leading Every Episode of Black Mirror Season 4 (In Front of Camera, at Least).
Season four of Black Mirror hits Netflix tomorrow, December 29th, and according to executive producer Annabel Jones, every one of the six episodes will center on a female protagonist.
The show has a solid history of producing great woman-centric content (the incredible episode "San Junipero" springs immediately to mind, but it's not an outlier in the first three seasons), so this is a nice step to expand on that already great precedent.
Interestingly, Jones is insistent that this season's all-women protagonist lineup wasn't an intentional statement. She told THR, "Charlie [Brooker] and I don't tend to think about the stories that way.
Sometimes, it just comes out. But it's great — great! — that they're all strong female protagonists.
I think what's lovely about the show is that it's not a strident statement. It's more: Why not? We don't even think about it from a gender perspective and I hope that's progress.
It's more that we explore the best story and the best way to tell it.".
That "best story" and its sibling, the all-too-familiar "best person for the job" line are often used as excuses for hiring or casting men, specifically white men. So it is nice to see it applying to the casting of women.
(Although a deliberate statement would have been just fine, too.) That's especially true because according to Jones, not all of the scripts were written with women in mind for the lead characters.
The main character of episode three, "Crocodile," was originally written for a man, but actress Andrea Riseborough (Battle of the Sexes) changed their mind.
"Andrea read for one of the other parts and she really liked the journey of the protagonist and she challenged us and said, 'Do you think it could be a woman?" says Jones.
"Then we sort of said, 'Oh, hold on.' We hadn't quite thought about that. We questioned it and worked it.
Apart from the physicality element of it — a requirement that plays out in the episode's first few minutes — we thought, 'How often do you see a mother reduced to this level of desperation?' Then we thought that was actually quite interesting, and that's the result of Andrea's role.".
While women will lead the season in front of the camera, the numbers aren't nearly as strong when it comes to writing and directing. Only one episode, "Arkangel" is directed by a woman (Jodie Foster).
According to IMBD, she's the first and only woman to have directed an episode of Black Mirror. Charlie Brooker usually writes all the episodes, but at least last season we saw a Rashida Jones co-writing credit on one.
This season, no women are credited with contributing to the writing. If Brooker and Jones are so excited to tell women's stories, I hope that in the future, they allow women to actually be a part of shaping those stories.
As a reminder, here's what we can expect from season four of Black Mirror. (Because this is twisty-turny Black Mirror we're talking about, all synopses, as gathered from the trailers, might very well be less than 100% accurate descriptions.).
"Arkangel," about a definitely fine and not troubling implant for parents to keep their kids safe.

NHL NEWS - Bower's fondness for Maple Leafs was mutual, Shanahan says - Duration: 7:21.
Bower's fondness for Maple Leafs was mutual, Shanahan says
TORONTO -- Even though it has been 47 years since Johnny Bower played his final game for the Toronto Maple Leafs, there are very few players -- past or present -- who could bring the crowd at Air Canada Centre to its feet the way he could.
Though Maple Leafs fans revered Bower, the Hall of Fame goaltender who died at 93 on Tuesday, it was always clear how grateful the four-time Stanley Cup champion was in return.
Johnny loved being a Leaf and in retirement, he loved being a Leaf, Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said Wednesday.
Here was a Hall of Famer who would dress up as Santa Claus for the players and their kids and families.
Regardless of where the Leafs were in the standings, Johnnys love for the Maple Leafs never wavered.
We dont really know of a former player who was loved by Leafs fans but loved them back equally as much..
Bower was a fixture in Toronto, both at games and various charitable appearances since he retired in 1969 at 45 after playing 12 seasons for the Maple Leafs.
Thats one of the cool things about playing for the Maple Leafs is you get to hang around guys like that who are just larger than life, forward James van Riemsdyk said.
At the end of the day, [he was] just a great person.
He just carried himself really humbly and hes a really good representation of what a Maple Leaf should be, so obviously its a pretty sad day..
Shanahan said he had not met Bower personally before taking the job as Toronto president in 2014 but was aware of his reputation.
He was a legend in the sense that you didnt have to be living in Toronto or working for the Maple Leafs to know about his spirit and to hear the stories of his generosity and charity, Shanahan said, not to mention his accomplishments on the ice.
In my time working here, nobody ever came upon Johnny Bower at any time and saw him frustrated or uncomfortable or impatient, he was never any of those things.
Anytime somebody saw Johnny Bower, they came away with a great experience; he was a great lesson for all of us..
Shanahan was born in 1969 and grew up in Toronto.
He is too young to have seen Bower play in person, but even as a child knew enough about him to understand his place in Maple Leafs history.
Not too many people in sports have a name where it almost becomes a verb, Shanahan said.
If you were playing street hockey and you poke-checked somebody, youd yell, I just Johnny Bower-ed you! Id never seen Johnny play as a young kid but I knew that he was the man who invented the poke-check growing up here in Toronto..
Bower spent the equivalent of a full career in the minors before becoming a full-time NHL goaltender at age 34.
That happening nowadays would be unheard of, forward Patrick Marleau said.
For him to do that and be so successful, thats a great accomplishment..
Bower won the Stanley Cup in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1967, and played most of his career without wearing a mask.
Youd watch the video of him playing net and taking pucks off the face and everything he did.
It was unbelievable, forward Tyler Bozak said.
Every time theyd show it, it was crazy, some of the stitches and stuff he had on his face.
Taking a puck in the face, getting back up and taking another puck in the face, its crazy.
Obviously he had a lot of compete in him..
Bower meant something to so many generations of fans.
To some, he is remembered as an instrumental part of the Maple Leafs last Stanley Cup win in 1967.
To others, he is the man who invented the poke-check.
To the current generation, he is the link to past glory.
I dont know him like a lot of people do, but what he appears to me to be is an example for all our players to try to live up to, coach Mike Babcock said.
When you treat people the way he did, and when you make people feel better about themselves just from your conversation, thats the mark of a great, great man.
Obviously he was an unbelievable goaltender and an unbelievable Leaf, but I think what he did off the ice for our fans and what he did for people is far more impressive.
I think its important for our guys to learn about him, and theyre going to hear a lot about [it] over the next while and understand what a good man he was and what a great role model he was.
We all think were doing a pretty good job, but then when you hear about the quality of person he was, its pretty humbling to say the least.
Good on him and his family.
Obviously, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
He had a great life, 93 years young..
