Showing off her stuff on the red carpet, Eva Mendes attended the Opening Ceremony at the Sala Grande during the 66th Venice Film Festival on Wednesday (September 2).

Wearing a leopard-print red dress, the sexy actress is on hand promoting her new movie, “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.”

Co-starring Nicholas Cage and Val Kilmer, the movie is a remake which “follows Terence McDonough as he investigates the killing of five Senegalese immigrants.”

To be officially screened on September 4th, the Werner Herzog directed flick will then be slowly released throughout Europe beginning in December.
