In July 2014 , it was announced that Posey had signed on to co-star in Woody Allen 's mystery drama '' Irrational Man '' with Joaquin Phoenix , Emma Stone , and Jamie Blackley . The film had its world premiere on May 16 , 2015 , at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival . In July 2015 , Parker revealed that before being cast in the film , she had considered quitting acting , as she feared that she " saw the independent film movement go away from me ... it 's a world market now . They 're made from real star power . Whoever 's hot at the moment . " When Allen cast her , she cried , as " the independent film way of working is something that was in my bones . It 's like being a part of a punk band but no one 's singing punk rock anymore . Only a few bands are able to play , and Woody Allen is one of them . That 's why I cried . It was a relief . " In 2018 , she appeared as Dr. Smith in '' Lost in Space '' , the Netflix remake of the 1965 TV series
