Dockery goes Non-Stop with Neeson

Michelle Dockery is set for Hollywood, following reports she has joined thriller Non-Stop.

The Downton Abbey actress, best known for playing Lady Mary Crawley in the ITV1 period drama, could be making her third major big-screen debut in the airplane drama alongside Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore, reported Variety.

It would be the 30-year-old British star's third biggest film role to date, following her appearances in Joe Wright's Anna Karenina opposite Keira Knightley and Ruth Wilson, and in Hanna with Saoirse Ronan.

There is no word about what characters Michelle or Julianne would play.

Scoot McNairy, who recently appeared opposite Brad Pitt in Killing Them Softly and has a role in Ben Affleck's Argo, is also reported to have been added to the cast.

Liam is set to star as an air marshal, who has to stop a killer on board the flight, after he starts receiving threatening texts in Jaume Collet-Serra's gripping thriller.
