Doing her best to boost interest in her upcoming movie, Eva Mendes attended a screening of “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” at the SVA Theater in New York City on Sunday evening (November 8).

Looking ever-so-sexy in a carefully unbuttoned white blouse paired with a black skirt and black heels, the 35-year-old actress posed for pictures as she mingled with guests including Susan Sarandon, Ice-T, Coco, Jennifer Missoni and Amy Landecker, among others.

Due out in select cities on November 20th, Eva’s new flick “follows the drug and gambling riddled detective Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) as he investigates the killing of five Senegalese immigrants in post-Katrina New Orleans.”

Meanwhile, Eva was applauded by co-star Jennifer Coolidge for her high energy level during the filming process, as Miss Coolidge told press, “I was so exhausted after fighting with Eva because she’s really strong, and we had to fight over some drugs in a purse. She tired me out. ... She has more energy than I have.”
