Casting announced for Campion’s Top of the Lake
Casting has been announced for the Jane Campion-directed television mini-series Top of the Lake.
An ensemble cast will include Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, On the Road), Holly Hunter (The Piano), Peter Mullan (War Horse, Trainspotting) and David Wenham (Lord of the Rings, Australia, Killing Time).
Campion wrote the series with Gerard Lee (All Men are Liars). The pair also co-wrote feature film Sweetie (1989) and short film Passionless Moments (1983).
Produced by Emile Sherman and Iain Canning’s See-Saw Films (The Kings Speech, Shame), the show will also be produced by upcoming director Garth Davis.
Must point out an oversight in the following: “It marks the return of Campion filming in her native New Zealand since breakout ’90s film An Angel At My Table.”
The Piano was also filmed by Jane Campion in her native New Zealand in the 1990s following An Angel At My Table.
this project sounds awesome and to be shot in one of the most beautiful areas in the world brought to life by genius of the piano
Give this Lady her dues – big commercial success in a small niche’ market.
A 12 yr old who is five months pregnant?..which sick mind dredged this one up?..there are far more morally decisive film/tv ideas on which to dream up and execute into a vision!..Myself and my friends will boycott this project!..I think it is sickening to say the least!.
Hey Kiwi screenwriter, why don’t you reserve your views until you’ve seen the film? Or maybe go and write your own friggin film that is morally decisive, what I find sickening is that people like yourself seem to think you have some moral code on the imaginations and artistic expression of others. Please, you know that hole you’ve been burying your head in?..Go and stick it back in there thanks.
