LOS ANGELES, Sept 19: Fresh from her Best actress in a Drama Series Emmys win for her role in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Elisabeth Moss is now set to star in Simon Curtis’ women rights film “Call Jane”.
The movie is based on the true story of a 1960s movement called the Jane Collective. Screenplay was written by Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi, reported Variety.
Robbie Brenner is producing the indie along with Jeff Kwatinetz and Kevin McKeon of The Firm.

Moss won two Emmys on yesterday for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” one for acting and the other for producing the Hulu series. She also just starred in the new season of the Jane Campion limited series “Top of the Lake: China Girl,” and will be seen this autumn in the Palme d’Or-winning film “The Square.” (PTI)
