MUMBAI: Though James Cameron’s Avatar, the world‘s most expensive film continues to break records, Gemma Arterton‘s latest feature The Disappearance Of Alice Creed has proved that you do not need a bountiful to impress film buffs. Thefilm was made on a shoestring budget by J Blakeson.

Featuring a cast of just a few key players and set across a handful of locations, the film follows Alice, played by Gemma, who is kidnapped by a couple of ex-cons.

Said Blakeson, “The character starts off as glamourous and then is put through this ordeal. Sometimes you see these films where people are put through an ordeal and they‘ve got perfect make-up and perfect hair and expensive designer clothes and you just don‘t believe it for a second."
