Movie titles switch around faster than anything else in this industry. Take for example Melissa George’s new film The Grave at Angel’s Peak that we reported on last month. Here we are just a few weeks later, and the flick has gotten itself a brand new Facebook page and a new title – the equally as somber A Lonely Place to Die. Yep, they are certainly bringing the fun with this one!

George is set to make a gruesome discovery in Julian Gilbey’s new thriller, co-starring Ed Speleers. The flick centers upon a group of five mountaineers who are hiking and climbing in the Scottish Highlands that happen to discover a young Serbian girl buried in a small chamber in the wilderness. The group then becomes caught up in a terrifying game of cat and mouse with the kidnappers as they try to get the girl to safety.

Look for more on this one soon! In the interim dig on the new imagery below courtesy of the official A Lonely Place to Die Facebook page.

Melissa George will once again hit the big screen playing a damsel in distress in a new thriller called A Lonely Place to Die.
The Perth actress has appeared in plenty of projects since beginning her career as a teenager on Home and Away, including Grey’s Anatomy, In Treatment, 30 Days of Night, Alias, Derailed and Lie To Me.
She will play a woman who is part of a group of five mountaineers climbing in the Scottish Highlands when they discover a girl being held captive.
They become entangled in a battle with the girl’s kidnappers.
The new film will be directed by Rise of the Footsoldier director Julian Gilbey, and begins filming in Scotland this week.
George obviously enjoys working on scary thriller type flicks, with her last project Triangle a supernatural thriller stuck on a ship in the middle of the ocean – complete with unescapable violent maniac.
The Golden Globe nominee is a big fashion fan, and has been spotted in the front row at recent New York Fashion Week shows. She attending the star-studded Costume Institute Gala Benefit alongside the biggest celebrities in the world earlier this month.

Australian actress Melissa George says she is thrilled to be attending the Academy Awards – a sign of how far she has come in Hollywood.

The former Home and Away actress says she is amazed with her acting career journey.

“Only this year I was nominated for a Golden Globe and now I’ve been invited to walk the red carpet at the Oscars,” George said.

“And I came from Home and Away when I was a very young girl, so it’s an amazing achievement and I’m very grateful for it.”

George has scored a number of big parts recently and was nominate for a Golden Globe for her role in the TV drama In Treatment this year.

She has featured in the popular TV series Grey’s Anatomy, while her latest movie, a supernatural thriller called Triangle, is set for release this year.

But George said it had been hard work.

“It’s been so hard because at the end of the day we’re not American so we’re fighting in a foreign country, so it’s one more obstacle to overcome, but we do it, we keep going,” she told the Nine Network.

“Even though I was nominated for a Globe this year, I’m still busting my butt to try and get the job I want.

“It never stops being difficult, but that’s the town and that’s the competition and I’m just thrilled.”

George shone on the red carpet wearing a white strapless Dolce and Gabbana dress with a fish tail.

She received rave reviews from Australian designer Alex Perry and US celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Perry said “she looks brilliant in white” while Hilton described her as “such a pretty mermaid”.

It’s been confirmed that Melissa will star in a new movie called Stolen. Melissa is currently the only actor to be cast in the movie, but there is an official site that confirms the crew and all.

Plot: Young Charlotte Lockton has settled in Australia with her wealthy husband, David. But her life’s dreams are shattered when he’s murdered at their farm, and her new-born son is kidnapped. A year after paying a ransom, she decides to track him down, and so begins her journey through wilds of an untamed New Zealand, at the beginning of the Gold Rush. She comes into contact with Villains, Suffragettes, Hustlers, Chinese Mystics and native Maoris. She joins a convoy of Whores, Dancers, and Ex-cons heading for the rough mining community of Gold Town. There she meets Joshua McCullen, the owner of the town, a man who is key to uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of her son, forcing her to fight to the death for what she holds most dear.

Winner: Melissa George

Melissa made the journey from Home and Away to Hollywood seem simple; always scoring top marks for her beauty and style choices. I was bowled over by her old Hollywood charm when she attended the opening of Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne earlier this month–the deep berry lip and loose Marcel waves really work against her porcelain skin. And of course it seemed only fitting that she should earn the award whilst on Australian soil.

Runners up: Rose Byrne, Toni Collette, Teresa Palmer and Isla Fisher. Good work flying the Aussie style flag girls!

I just got an email from one of our very loyal visitors, Jenny, and I was just alerted that Melissa will be featured in the January 2010 issue of Vogue magazine. The issue is currently on stands now. Unfortunately, we don’t have any scans yet. I’ll try and see if I can get them. If anybody does have it and is able to scan it, that would also be great! If you do have scans, feel free to send them here.

Aussie actor Melissa George has appeared on some of the world’s hottest TV shows, is dressed by the world’s top designers and spends her time jaunting between her Manhattan and Buenos Aires homes with beloved French bulldog Glee.

And she is totally smitten with her “gorgeous laid-back Latin husband”, Chilean film director Claudio Dabed.

Now – or rather next July – she wants to have a baby.

George, 33, who is in Melbourne today to lend her fashionable frame to Chadstone’s new fashion precinct, admits the biological clock has started ticking.

“I’m going to have a baby,” George said.

But an international film career means an unplanned pregnancy is not on the agenda. “I have booked three different movies starting in February going all the way through to July, which I am really happy about,” she said.

“Then I think I will just have a baby after that.”

George, who has been nominated for an AFI award for her role in hit US TV series In Treatment, has already taken up the role as mother to her 15-year-old stepdaughter Martina – and loves it.

EVERYTHING is going wonderfully for Melissa George, except that she is losing her mind and quitting acting to start a family.

Actually, neither of those things is happening.

“There was even an article that came out in Woman’s Day that I was losing my fricking mind,” she said, laughing heartily. ”Apparently Melissa’s losing her mind.”

So George hit back on a social media site, saying: “Just told her where to go.”

The truth is that the star, who has appeared in films Mulholland Drive, The Amityville Horror and 30 Days of Night is busy working. Babies come later.

“I’ve just booked three films starting January,” she said. “Back to back.”

George, 33, in Melbourne on a flying visit, wouldn’t reveal any details of the new roles yesterday, but said she had been busy since appearing as a guest star on Grey’s Anatomy and In Treatment.

For her performance in the latter she was nominated for a Golden Globe, 14 years after she received the first of two Gold Logie nominations for her role as Angel on soapie Home and Away.

In Melbourne to open Chadstone’s new development, George professed to mixed feelings about shopping centres. “It gets a little madness,” she demurred. “But it’s great you go to one place and everything’s there.”

George’s parents live in Perth, her website is based in Britain and she lives between New York and Buenos Aires with her husband, Chilean film director Claudio Dabed.

So, where is home?

“I’m from Planet Earth,” she said, laughing. “When you’re comfortable within you’re at home anywhere. I literally get to a city and … convert to the way the people live there, I do what they do. I don’t know where I’m from really,” she said. She then added, emphatically: “I’m from Perth. I’m from where my Mum and Dad live, you know.”

Beyond the films, George is a budding entrepreneur, being the co-inventor of adhesive device HemmingMyWay, which rehems pants and skirts. “That’s harder work than anything,” she said. “I’m getting shipping quotes – I don’t understand a word … I make movies!”

Australian actress Melissa George is looking to take a break from her successful international TV and film career to start a family in the new year.

The Golden Globe-nominated star of TV therapy series In Treatment says she’s prepared to put a temporary hold on filmmaking to focus on making babies instead.

“Next year will be the year – I’ve got to bite the bullet,” the 33-year-old said of parenthood. George is married to Chilean film director Claudio Dabed and has a stepdaughter, Martina, 14, but wants to have children of her own.

Hollywood star and fashionista Melissa George has invented a device that shortens the trouser leg.

George, 33, of Grey’s Anatomy, and her business partner Kara Harshbarger came up with the snap hem, a plastic device called Hemming My Way, to stop their long pants dragging on the streets of New York.

Harshbarger says: “One day over coffee, Melissa shared her idea for an invention. She had just been to New York City and was annoyed by a problem familiar to all women: her long hem dragging up and down the Big Apple sidewalks. This was 2008: enough is enough! So we brainstormed, drank more coffee, brainstormed, got the jitters, and wondered if we were out of our minds – what did we know about inventing?

She continued: “Melissa stars in movies and Kara has made one. Maybe it was the caffeine, or maybe it was the love of a challenge that had us chomping at the bit. We formed Karamel Productions and dove into the world of plastics, adhesives, manufacturing and sales. Like any new venture, the road is littered with potholes, but we’ve been dedicated to the end goal: when stepping over those holes, we refuse to let our hems drag on the ground!”

George will next week launch a new fashion hub in Melbourne at a celeb-studded mega-party.
