Move over, Julia Roberts: Jodie Foster has all but completed negotiations to costar in Fox 2000's "Anna and the King" with Chow Yun-Fat ("The Replacement Killers") for a reported $15 million, which would tie Foster with Roberts as Hollywood's best-paid leading lady. Fox confirms that shooting may begin as early as January, with Foster playing Anna Leonowens, the 19th-century governess whose diaries about her friendship with Siam's monarch were previously adapted for the screen as "Anna and the King of Siam" (1946) and the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The King and I" (1956).
