It's been a rough few months for Mischa Barton, but she appears to be finally getting her life back on track.

After what has seemingly been an eternity out of the limelight, the former O.C. actress has teamed up with Denise Richards for a new movie, The Toybox.

Mischa shared photos from the set on Instagram on Monday, including a cast and crew group photo.

The film appears to be shooting out in the desert, with a somewhat stark landscape behind them.

In the photo, Mischa can be seen sitting next to Denise, surrounded by the film's cast and crew.

Both actresses are seen wearing sunglasses, and are sitting cross-legged, while smiling at the camera. 

Denise is dressed in dark blue jeans and a hot pink tank top. 

Meanwhile, Mischa sits beside her in a pair of dark blue jeans rolled up at the ankle, a white tank top and a green utility jacket.

'Just hanging around set on a beautiful day,' she captioned it. 'Hope all of you are having a tranquil day out there too.'

Last week, Denise shared her own photos from the set, including one of her sitting in a director's chair while getting her makeup applied.

The 46-year-old is seen sitting outdoors, a mountain in the background, while a makeup artist touches her up.

Another photo, posted two weeks ago, shows the blonde beauty holding a clapper board, with her eyes peeking out from behind it.

'1st day today...always feels like it's the first day of school .. #thetoybox,' she captioned it.

The film has been described as a supernatural thriller about a family who drives cross-country across America before getting stranded in the desert by a supernatural force, which threatens to kill them.

Last week Mischa spoke candidly about the emotional strain she suffered following the emergence of a historic sex tape featuring the actress and a former lover.

The 31-year old bitterly reflected on the moment she discovered the tape was being offered to the highest bidder during a televised interview with Dr. Phil McGraw.

Speaking to the TV therapist, she admitted a friend told her of its existence ‘several months ago.' 

‘It got to me because somebody came up to me on the street and said “There’s something I need to tell you,”’ she explained.

‘And I didn’t believe it at first; I couldn’t believe it because I loved this person and I didn’t believe it was possible, and I later learned that it was entirely possible.’

The x-rated video, which purportedly shows the London born actress having sex with a dark haired man, is being offered to the highest bidder with the starting price of $500,000.

‘It was obviously complete emotional blackmail, but it was one of those things where I needed to distance myself from all of these people immediately, because there’s not much you can do; it’s really out of your hands, and it was a crime,’ she said.
