Melissa George distracted by ‘stunning’ scenery

Melissa George was distracted by the “stunning” Scottish landscape while filming her new movie.

The Australian actress is appearing in upcoming thriller A Lonely Place to Die, which was filmed in the Scottish Highlands.

The film is about a group of climbers who find a girl buried alive in the ice. They decide to rescue her without realising she is the kidnapped daughter of a Serbian warlord who is prepared to do whatever it takes to get her back.

Melissa did the majority of her own stunts in the high-octane action thriller, but says the Scottish landscape was sometimes quite distracting.

“I did most [of the stunts] apart from the bit when I fall through the trees and into the water!” she laughed.

“Scotland is the star of the film for sure. I’d be hanging off the edge of the mountain thinking, ‘This is stunning.’”

Melissa braved the elements to shoot the thriller.

The 35-year-old beauty has recalled one moment during filming where she was left to fend for herself when the weather took a turn for the worst.

“There was hail at one point and I couldn’t get off the mountain,” she explained. “They put a cover over me and I waited it out for over an hour.”

Melissa is currently shooting a horror movie with British actor Pierce Brosnan. The blonde beauty was impressed by her co-star.

“He’s divine,” she told BBC Breakfast.
