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.
Sherman told Encore last year: “Essentially, I was approached by Jane. We’d met and got on really well, and she thought that this could be a good project for us to work on together. I couldn’t believe that she actually offered me the job.”
The mini-series will begin production in February 2012 Queenstown, New Zealand...

Chicago – “Excuse me, I don’t feel anything,” announces the young, saucer-eyed woman to her meditation instructor. In fact, she feels many things, though meditative tranquility is not among them. Whenever she closes her eyes, a series of nightmarish images emerge from the depths of her heightened paranoia. At the center of her fears is a dark force in the form of her sister, lovingly nicknamed, “Sweetie.”
Though Kay (Karen Colson) is technically the heart and soul of this potent 1989 drama, her troubled, titular sibling, carrying the birth name of Dawn (Geneviève Lemon), soaks up attention like a sponge. Her unrestrained flamboyance and untreated mental illness threatens to consume everyone and everything that falls into her orbit. Kay’s irrational fear of trees seems to be symbolic of the family roots that run deep, entangling her limbs and stunting her growth.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
