Fresh from her double Emmy Award win this past weekend, The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss has signed on to star in Call Jane, an indie drama from director Simon Curtis (My Week With Marilyn), Variety has revealed.
The film has been scripted by Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi and tells the true story of the Jane Collective, an underground movement of suburban women in the 1960s who secretly provided safe abortions for women before the landmark decision Roe v. Wade.
Moss, who was also recently seen in the Jane Campion limited series Top of the Lake: China Girl, is set to take on the lead role of a married woman who becomes pregnant unexpectedly and turns to the group of women for help.
