Resume: Elisabeth Moss


Elisabeth Moss first worked with Last Resort Films all the way back in Season 1 and has continued to work relatively steadily since. In this latest edition of Resume, we will take a look at the filmography of the ever-dependable actress....























Season 1
Invisible Monsters
Director: Ryan Murphy
Writer: D.R. Cobb


Budget: $53,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $28,815,044
Foreign Box Office: $35,122,141
Total Profit: -$68,665,327




Moss' first LRF role was one of the first films produced by the studio (the fourth to be exact). While the film received mixed reviews and was a certified box office disaster, Moss managed to secure the very first GRA for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the spoiled Evie Cottrell.


Season 7
The Death of the Honest Man
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Writer: Dominic Wilkins


Budget: $24,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $25,905,656
Foreign Box Office: $22,233,921
Total Profit: -$2,201,610




After a handful of seasons away, Moss returned for two films in Season 7. The first was the dramedy The Death of the Honest Man, where she played one of Colin Farrell's mistresses. The film was a hit with critics, winning two Golden Reel Awards.




Plastic Man
Director: Rawson Marshall Thurber
Writer: APJ


Budget: $180,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $302,973,210
Foreign Box Office: $345,001,087
Total Profit: $279,100,751




Later in Season 7, Moss played the relative straight man in the DC Comics Universe film, Plastic Man. Her character was the FBI Agent love interest of the ne'er-do-well title superhero. The film was a hit with critics and audiences alike.



Season 9
Hippies in New York
Director: Greta Gerwig
Writer: Alex Conn


Budget: $22,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $10,159,113
Foreign Box Office: $4,021,775
Total Profit: -$25,007,916




Next up for Elisabeth Moss was a role in an early Alex Conn-written film, Hippies in New York. The film was a bomb at the box office and was very disliked by the critics as well, with the consensus being that the characters were all unlikable and unrealistic.



Season 15
Visions
Director: Ben Wheatley
Writer: Jack Slipter


Budget: $24,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $48,024,880
Foreign Box Office: $70,002,444
Total Profit: $51,950,020




After another handful of seasons away, Moss finally returned with the hit supernatural thriller Visions. Critics raved about her performance in the film, with many feeling she deserved a GRA nomination for Best Actress.


Up Next: Moss has two films due out this season. First is the thriller Bad Dreams Come True which is about to debut. Later in the season she will star in the latest Stephen King adaptation from writer Matt Parker. Slightly further in the future, Moss is expected to return for the long-awaited Plastic Man sequel, Plastic Man 2: Electric Boogaloo.
