Carrie-Anne Moss Grows on Garden

Not every woman who looks great in black leather and can proficiently kick bad-guy butt becomes a lesbian icon, but Carrie-Anne Moss certainly did.

Her sleek bod and stunning wire-work set sapphic hearts a-flutter in the Matrix series, and now Moss will return to the big screen - opposite Julia Roberts, no less - for the ensemble family drama Fireflies in the Garden.

Ryan Reynolds and Emily Watson are also in negotiations to join the film, which marks the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Dennis Lee.

Fireflies is based on Lee's own experiences, and deals with family members coping with tragedy and finding strength in one another.

Shooting is slated to start in March in Austin, Texas, so don't count on seeing this Garden until Christmas at the earliest.
