On the big screen, Moss will next be seen in Lawrence Kasdan’s Darling Companion, opposite Diane Keaton and Kevin Kline, as well as in Walter Salles’s adaptation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel On The Road. She is currently filming the lead role in Top of the Lake, Jane Campion’s highly-anticipated six part miniseries for the BBC and the Sundance Channel. Moss’s additional film credits include Did You Hear About the Morgans?, Get Him To The Greek, The Missing, Girl Interrupted, Mumford, A Thousand Acres and Virgin, for which she was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress.
