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).
Production company Working Title shared an update on X on August 9 after wrapping filming on the next installment and confirmed that it will hit theaters on Valentine’s Day.
A photo posted to his account shows a director’s chair in front of the iconic character’s home in Borough Market, with The Globe Tavern in the background.
“That’s all. See you on Valentine’s Day,” she wrote in the text.

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.
However, filming soon resumed and Renée was spotted back on set with Leo on August 26 outside Borough Market.
The pair were spotted walking past Bridget’s iconic apartment above The Globe Tavern, where the character lived in the early films.
The street outside was famous for being the setting for the iconic fight between Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver in the first film as they competed for Bridget’s affections.
The Mail on Sunday previously revealed that Bridget will ditch her famous bachelorette pad in favour of a family home in leafy Hampstead, north London, where many scenes have been filmed in recent months.
Colin Firth also revealed‘s Mark Darcy will reunite with Bridget Jones after all.
When the actor’s name did not appear on the cast list, fans feared his character had been killed off.
In Helen Fielding’s novels, after marrying Bridget, he dies while working abroad as a human rights lawyer.
However, in exclusive photos from the set of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, Renee is seen lovingly interacting with her co-star Colin.
Fielding’s novel Mad About The Boy showed Bridget living life as a widow four years after Darcy’s death; her return is a huge surprise that the film’s directors were desperate to keep secret.
A source said: ‘Colin was always going to appear in the film, but it was supposed to be a secret.’
