Renée Zellweger was photographed walking through the woods while filming some dark scenes for Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.
The 55-year-old actress, who has played the title character since 2001, filmed footage for the fourth instalment in Keswick in the Lake District National Park last week.
Production company Working Title confirmed earlier this month that the film will hit theaters on Valentine’s Day next year and said filming had finally wrapped.
However, it seems there was still some shooting left to be done, as Renée embarked on a rainy school camping trip with her love interest, her teacher, played by Marvel star Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Bridget walked through the woods in a rain jacket and bucket hat before telling stories to the children around the fire.

The 55-year-old actress, who has played the title character since 2001, filmed footage for the fourth instalment in Keswick in the Lake District National Park last week.
The fourth installment of the acclaimed franchise is based on the book of the same name by Helen Fielding.
It follows Bridget as she struggles alone with motherhood following the tragic death of her husband Mark, played in the previous films by Colin Firth.
In the final film, Bridget Jones’s Baby, she is seen attending the funeral of her other on-again, off-again love, Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, who is presumed dead after a plane crash. He is later found alive.
The much-loved character enjoys a fling with a handsome young man named Rockstar, played by One Day star Leo Woodall, 27, after the pair meet on social media.
In addition to her love story with Rockstar, the lovable diarist will also explore a romantic connection with her son’s gym teacher, Mr. Walker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, while also reviving her on-again, off-again relationship with Daniel (Hugh Grant).
