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...

Getty Nick Lowe in 2008
Nick Lowe’s set at Portland, Ore.’s Aladdin Theater Wednesday night segued between old tracks and new, songs dating back to his earliest days as a recording artist (the 1960s pub-rock band Brinsley Schwartz) to tunes from his latest CD.
With barely a break to take a sip of bottled water, the singer/songwriter/arranger/producer and raconteur barreled through almost two dozen numbers, alone on stage with an acoustic guitar, never stopping even once...

Jane Campion (The Piano, Bright Star) is set to direct a new drama series for BBC Two, titled Top of the Lake.
Top of the Lake – which Campion wrote in partnership with Gerard Lee (All Men Are Liars, Sweetie) – focuses on the case of a 12-year-old girl who is discovered standing in a frozen lake, five months pregnant. The investigating detective Robin Griffin is tested when she takes on the mystery and ends up learning more about herself.
The series has been described as “a powerful and haunting story about our search for happiness in a paradise where honest work is hard to find”.
Campion will film Top of the Lake early next year in New Zealand.
