Melissa George

Melissa George: (On which was the physically toughest and grueling situations when working on the films "30 Days of Night", "Waz", and "Turistas") Turistas, working in the jungle. It was rough. It was rough climates, rough sets, but really realistic.

Melissa George: (On director David Slade bringing the same vibe he had on his previous film "Hard Candy") Absolutely. Only because the way he shoots, it's about the actors. It's about the acting, and it's here. [demonstrates a close shot] A 150 lens is a wide shot for David Slade...[As with] Hard Candy, everything was really tight. And what he does is, as the story gets deeper and deeper, he goes closer and closer to the actors' faces, and then he pulls back. And that's the scariest, pulling back to a wide. He's very clever with his lenses and his storytelling, and with his actors.

Melissa George: (On the story in the film "30 Days of Night" being set in Barrow, Alaska and shooting in New Zealand.) Yeah. We shot in Queenstown in the snow, and all you could see was snow for miles, which is perfect for the beginning of the film. And then we built the Alaskan town of Barrow four times over in Auckland. And it's fake snow, but you realize you need to work with fake snow because you can't work in cold temperatures like that.
