Anchor Bay Films held a special screening in New York on Wednesday for it’s abduction-thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed, aka: The-British-Movie-Where-Gemma-Arterton-Gets-Naked. Joining Arterton at the event were Tara Subkoff (The Cell), Jennifer Esposito (Don’t Say a Word), fashion model Molly Sims, and “Fat Ugly Betty” star America Ferrara.

Arterton plays kidnap victim Alice Creed in the film. The 24-year-old actress reportedly goes nude for the role.

Arterton first caught moviegoers attention as James Bond’s doomed love interest Strawberry Fields in 2008’s Quantum of Solace. Since then she’s scored lead roles in Warner Bros. blockbuster remake of Clash of the Titans and in Michael Bay’s epic video game adaptation Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed will begin its limited theatrical run in Los Angeles and New York on Aug. 6. The film has already premiered in the U.K (see pics here).
