Gemma Arterton: “The Disappearance of Alice Creed”

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Gemma Arterton was spotted at the premiere of her new movie “The Disappearance of Alice Creed” in New York City last night (July 28).

The “Quantum of Solace” hottie looked beautiful as she arrived at the Crosby Street Hotel, sporting a simple grey dress with black heels as she mingled with fellow actress America Ferrera.

Of her work in the film, which included lots of being tied up and gagged, Gemma told press, "Obviously it's physically draining because I was in a constant state of tension when making the movie. I was constantly tied up in myself (sic) and then physically I had tiny rope burns and I started getting these little cuts on my mouth from the ball gag, so they actually loosened the ropes and stuff.”

"I'd just come off from doing an action movie so it was so nice to be laying in bed (tied up)! You know everybody else is pottering around and doing their thing and I'm just lying there. Sometimes I'd fall asleep while they're setting up the next shot with handcuffs on!"
