A synopsis for Triangle here:

She sets sail on a yacht with a group of friends and already things are not as they seem - she just cant put her finger on why.

First Picture From 30 Days of Night Sequel
10 November 2009 8:37 AM, PST | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »
Ain't He Fat News posted the first picture from 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, the sequel to David Slade's 2007 film 30 Days of Night. The sequel is a direct adaptation of the sequel graphic novel Dark Days so if you are looking for spoilers you can find them right at your local comic store (or perhaps Wikipedia). While set in the same universe and continuing on the story from the first one, the sequel sees Stella Oleson (played by Melissa George in the first film, taken over now by Kiele Sanchez) trying to take the fight to the vampires. »

Melissa George joins "Lie to Me"
10 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
I was hoping Melissa George would find more work after getting the boot from Grey's Anatomy, but I guess I was looking for something a little more than this. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Melissa will join the cast of Lie to Me as "an Anna Nicole Smith-type."
Melissa will play Clara Martin, "the sassy wife of an older billionaire who has been murdered" who takes control of his empire. As Michael Ausiello notes, "she's kinda nuts."
If anything, this will probably be a fun part to play, but I'd also love to see Melissa do something a little more bad ass. However, we can hold out hope she'll share a scene with Lie to Me's Zoe Landau, aka Jennifer Beals. But with Clara not showing up till the 11th episode of the second season's 13, she might not have that much screen time.

First Still from 30 Days of Night: Dark Days
10 November 2009 12:52 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
It's only been a little more than two weeks since it was announced that Kiele Sanchez would be stepping in to replace Melissa George as Stella in the sequel to 30 Days of Night, but the production is already underway in Vancouver. Irish Rican of AICN visited the set and returned with the first still image from Dark Days, showing a bloodied and bruised Sanchez wielding a massive knife.
30 Days of Night and 30 Days of Night: Dark Days are closely based on the comic books by Steve Niles, who also co-wrote the script for Dark Days. There are plans to adapt other books in the series, which factored into the decision to bring in Sanchez to play the lead role.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days does not have an official release date as of yet, but it is expected to debut in 2010.

Exclusive: 'Grey's' star jumps to 'Lie to Me'

Mer's self-injuring Grey's Anatomy Bff has hopped the crazy train over to Lie to Me. Melissa George is joining the Fox drama as an Anna Nicole Smith-type who will go toe-to-toe with Tim Roth, sources confirm to me exclusively. Her character, Clara Martin, is the sassy wife of an older billionaire who has been murdered. After being exonerated in a high-profile murder trial, she assumes control of her husband's empire. Lightman sees himself in her — naughty, fearless, strategic, and always game for the next adventure. In other words, she's kinda nuts. George will recur beginning with this season's 11th episode. »

Christopher Smith’s Triangle Region 1 DVD Cover Art and Specs
9 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Speaking of Melissa George, ever wondered what happened to her and director Christopher Smith’s mind-bender of a horror movie called “Triangle”? I’ve been dying to see this thing ever since I heard the premise and saw the trailers for it, and it’s a shame the film has bypassed theaters completely in the States. Oh well, there’s always the DVD. In this case, the Region 1 DVD from First Look Studios will land Stateside on February 2nd in standard DVD and Blu-ray. Alas, the DVD specs are pretty barebones, which is a shame, because I’ve found that crew audio commentaries are usually the best things about horror movies. More often than not, they tend to have lots of fun making the movie, especially if the film turns out to be pure crap, though I’m sure “Triangle” doesn’t fall into that category. Probably. Then again, I haven’t seen it yet, »

First Look at Kiele Sanchez as a Bloody Stella in 30 Days of Night Sequel
9 November 2009 8:17 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Color me excited for the sequel to David Slade’s “30 Days of Night”. Yup, even without Slade. Still, I’m a fan of the comic book series by Steve Niles, and the sequel, based on Niles’ “Dark Days” limited series, looks and sounds like a rockin’ good time. So, via AICN, here’s your first look at actress Kiele Sanchez, all bloodied up and getting ready to hack some vampires to bits, replacing Melissa George as Stella Oleson in the sequel. I can’t say if the lost of George is all that vital. She’s a decent actress, but let’s face it, it’s not like replacing Weaver in the “Alien” films. Ben Ketai takes over for David Slade in the director’s chair, and Sanchez is joined by Harold Perrieneau, Mia Kirshner, and Katherine Isabelle in the cast. The sequel finds Stella alive and well and doing »

Exclusive: Dread Central Visits the Set of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days; Casting Update and Images
6 November 2009 12:07 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
This scribe (pictured right) just got in from a whirlwind visit from the set of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, which is currently shooting Day 13 of 25 in Vancouver, Canada, and while I can’t spill much yet (although blood was spilled there gratuitously), I can give you an update on casting.
Joining the previously announced Kiele (A Perfect Getaway) Sanchez (taking over the ‘Stella’ role played by Melissa George in the original 30 Days of Night), Mia (Depalma’s The Black Dahlia) Kirschner, Rhys ("Entourage") Coiro, Diora (Night of the Demons) Baird, and Harold ("Lost") Perrineau are Troy (A Marine Story) Ruptash as Agent Norris, Jackson Berlin, John De Santis, Marco Sorian, and Katherine (Ginger Snaps, "Supernatural") Isabelle, whose scene that Dread witnessed was rather disquieting (and I mean that in the best of ways – director Ben Ketai is throwing down with this one).

'30 Days of Night' Sequel Underway In Vancouver
28 October 2009 6:02 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Reports in September that the "30 Days of Night" sequel would begin filming in October appear to have been corroborated yesterday as filming kicked off in Vancouver.
Director Ben Ketai's follow-up to the 2007 adaptation of Steve Niles' Idw comic (directed by "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" director David Slade) seems to be proceeding on schedule with actress Kiele Sanchez as Stella Oleson instead of Melissa George.
"Not something I've seen spread around anywhere else yet, but the sequel to '30 Days of Night,' 'Dark Days,' began shooting in Vancouver today," Idw publisher Chris Ryall posted on his Twitter account.
Sanchez will be joined on set by newcomers Mia Kirshner, Rhys Coiro and Harold Perrineau. Coiro and Perrineau will unite with her character to track down the vampire queen Lilith who was responsible for the destruction of her Alaskan town in the first film.

27 October 2009 2:03 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
Before Paranormal Activity caused such a stir, Amanda Gusack directed the indie ghost story In Memorium, which is only now recieving its dues. Gusack more recently directed the higher-budget horror/thriller The Betrayed, which stars Melissa George and is available on DVD.
Gusack's haunting-caught-on-home-video film is one of our faveorite examples of women directing awesome new horror movies, and we'd love to point out that if you like Paranormal Activity, you'll love In Memorium. On July 27, Dennis Wade was diagnosed with terminal cancer. On September 25th, he began to document his illness. On September 27th...the cameras recorded something else.
