BURBANK, Calif. (AP) -- Jodie Foster is making 'Contact' with space aliens.

The actress will star in the film adaptation of astronomer Carl Sagan's novel about extraterrestrial life.

Foster, who won best-actress Academy Awards for 'The Accused' and 'Silence of the Lambs', will play a young astronomer who discovers radio signals from outer space, Warner Bros. said Monday.

Matthew McConaughey, the star of the movie 'A Time to Kill', will co-star.

'Contact' will be directed by Robert Zemeckis, who won the best-director Oscar for 'Forrest Gump'.

Filming begins later this month in New Mexico.
