We’re just a little over a week away from the release of the action-comedy Heads of State. Earlier this week (June 24th), Amazon MGM Studios hosted the red carpet world premiere at Alice Tully Hall in New York. Guests were treated to a screening of the film followed by an afterparty at Twin Tails. Continue reading to check out photos from the star-studded event.
Heads of State follows the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena), who have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship.” When they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary—who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces—they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset, they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
In addition to Elba (The Wire, Takers, Hobbs & Shaw, The Harder They Fall) and Cena (Daddy’s Home 2, F9, The Suicide Squad), the film also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Baywatch, The Matrix Resurrections, Citadel), Paddy Considine, Stephen Root (King of the Hill, Dodgeball, Get Out), Carla Gugino (Spy Kids trilogy, American Gangster, Night at the Museum), Jack Quaid (The Boys, Oppenheimer, Novocaine) and Sarah Niles (I May Destroy You, Ted Lasso).
Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry, Nobody) directed Heads of State from a screenplay by Josh Appelbaum & André Nemec and Harrison Query, and story from Query. The film was produced by Peter Safran and John Rickard, with Marcus Viscidi, Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, Elba and Cena serving as executive producers.
Many of the film’s contributors were in attendance for the big night. Check out some photos from the premiere below and be sure to check out Heads of State when it premieres globally on Prime Video July 2nd.
