Horror Role For Neighbourly Nat
Heraldd Sun, 9th July 2007


Natalie Bassingthwaighte scrubs up as a doctor in her new horror film role, starring opposite Jesse Johnson (the son of Miami Vice star Don Johnson).

The exclusive picture shows Bassingthwaighte looking picture perfect (apart from the bloodstains on her costume) on the set of her new film Prey.

Although Bassingthwaighte has cheerfully been spruiking her new role, images from the set had been kept under wraps until now, with producers hoping to build a sense of anticipation about the Australian-made horror project.

In the movie, Bassingthwaighte plays a medic who gets caught up in a mysterious and somewhat violent episode involving American tourists in outback Australia.

"Even her medical skills won't save them when the group confront the supernatural evil in the desert," said one insider, whispering details of the ominous plot.

This is the first big-screen role for the former Neighbours star turned pop singer, who is also releasing a new album with Rogue Traders this year.
