In 2006, she filmed the movie Case 39 opposite Renée Zellweger; however, because of a lengthy post-production, it was not released until 2009.
She played Bree Tanner in the third film of the Twilight series, Eclipse. She stated: “Usually I read the script before I take a role, but I haven’t read this one,” she explained. “It’s Twilight, of course I’m going to take it.”

In 2015, she starred in the short film The Goodbye Girl and the horror film The Unspoken, which premiered at the Film4 Frightfest Film Festival on October 24.
In 2016 she appeared in the Lifetime television movie My Daughter’s Disgrace, and provided the narration for the audiobook Wonder Women, written by Sam Maggs.
In April 2017, she appeared in the comedy Bigger Fatter Liar, the sequel to the 2002 movie, and is set to appear in the short film Women Seen directed by Amanda Tapping, and the horror film Never Knock.
