The Hollywood Reporter reports that Terrence Howard is in negotiations to star in "The Brave One" with Jodie Foster. Neil Jordan is also in talks to direct the thriller. Joel Silver is producing for Warner Bros. Pictures.

Foster is set as the title character, a woman who recovers from a brutal attack and sets out on a dark, psychological and physical journey for revenge and justice.

Cynthia Mort did the most recent rewrite on the project, which initially was a spec written by father-and-son team Bruce and Roderick Taylor. Michael Seitzman ("North Country") also did a rewrite.
