In 1998, after much searching (she did not have an agent at the time) Lisa was tapped for the role of Rachel Banks in the Will Smith/Gene Hackman big budget thriller Enemy of the State. In 2000, she played John Cusack's ex-lover, Marie DeSalle, in High Fidelity. In 2001, she played Heather Lelache in the A&E sci-fi remake Lathe of Heaven which co-starred James Caan and Lukas Haas. In 2003, Lisa played the role of Queenie in Biker Boyz. She continues to live with Kest in the Topanga Canyon area of Los Angeles.

Scott had ardently pursued Lisa for the role and went to great lengths to find her as Bonet does not employ an agent. But Tony Scott, who incidentally is the younger brother of another acclaimed film director Sir Ridley Scott ['Gladiator', 'Hannibal', 'Thelma & Louise'], and has himself directed such classics as 'Top Gun', 'Crimson Tide' and 'True Romance' was adamant that Lisa play the part. Thus Lisa Bonet returned to the silver screen and even consented to promote the movie, doing press junkets and interviews and opening up to the press for the first time in nearly a decade.

Bonet began to accept jobs on straight-to-video releases and made-for-TV movies. She changed her name legally in 1995 to Lilakoi Moon, deciding to continue using her birth name on the productions she participated in. In 1998 she had a supporting role in Enemy of the State with Will Smith. In 2000 she appeared in the movie High Fidelity. Her most recent film appearance was in Biker Boyz which reunited her with former co-star Kadeem Hardison of A Different World.
