PHOTO GALLERY: Far Northern beauty Isabel Lucas is due to sign another Hollywood movie deal after catching the eye of Steven Spielberg when filming The Pacific.
A spokesman for Lucas’ agent, Meissner Management, said the starlet had been auditioning regularly during her time in the US.
But it was her work on the war epic filmed in the Far North that scored her latest role in the sequel to blockbuster movie Transformers.

"Steven Spielberg saw her work in The Pacific and really pushed for her to get it," the spokesman said.
"He is one of the producers of Transformers (2)."
The spokesman said Lucas was likely to play a "strong support role" in the film.
He said the Australian talent agents felt excited about the young actor’s development, after "discovering" her at the Port Douglas markets several years ago.
"Obviously it’s been a process," the spokesman said.
"It’s good to see that Isabel has remained focused and she’s starting to bear the fruits of that now.
"She’s got the emotional attributes required of an actor."
The spokesman described her as similar to actors Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman.
"The more she works, she gets better," he said.
"It’s a learning process. She’ll go far, I think."
Lucas is expected to return to Australia later this month to finalise her working visa.
