On Tuesday, June 24, Amazon MGM Studios hosted the Red Carpet World Premiere of the new action-comedy HEADS OF STATE at Alice Tully Hall in New York. Guests were treated to a screening of the film followed by an afterparty at Twin Tails.
Attendees included HEADS OF STATE director Ilya Naishuller and stars John Cena, Idris Elba, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Carla Gugino, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle and Alexander Kuznetsov as well as the film’s writers Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and Harrison Query and producers Peter Safran, John Rickard and Marcus Viscidi. Special guests included Slick Rick, Jay Pharoah, Don Lemon, Jessel Taank and Pavit Randhawa, and others.
ABOUTHEADS OF STATE
In the action-comedy Heads of State, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship.” But 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 (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), 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. The film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles and is directed by Ilya Naishuller.
