Jodie Foster, who is currently prepping for the release of her next directorial venture "Money Monster" starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney, says she could not quite believe getting the former for the film.

Asked about the star cast of her film, especially her reaction when Roberts was signed for the movie, Foster said: "I was definitely pinching myself, when we got Julia. I couldn't quite believe it."

Foster says there was "some victory dance" after the "Pretty Woman" actress was roped in.

"George and Julia give truly substantial performances in the movie," Foster said in a statement.

"Money Monster" is all set to release on May 15 in India by Sony Pictures.
