Aussie stunner Melissa George is set to star in the upcoming ABC pilot “Gothica.” She joins co-stars Janet Montgomery (Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead), Emma Booth (Blood Creek), Tom Ellis (“Miranda”) and Chris Egan (Resident Evil: Extinction).

“Gothica,” a modern day re-imagining of the lives of horror icons, stars Montgomery as Grace Van Helsing, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from New York who takes over her family’s small town newspaper. Additional residents include Dorian Grey (Egan) and Frankenstein (Ellis).

George is coming off the A&E small-screen adaptation of the Stephen King bestseller “Bag of Bones.” She made her acting and nude debuts in New Line Cinema’s 1998 sci-fi mind-bender Dark City. Her first starring role came in 2005 in the Platinum Dunes remake of The Amityville Horror.

Additional creds include David Slade’s 30 Days of Night, John Stockwell’s Turistas, Christopher Smith’s acclaimed time-loop thriller Triangle and Julian Gilbey’s survival frightener A Lonely Place to Die.
