Thu 10th Jul 2025

In new releases this week, we’re highlighting the action comedy Heads of State starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Idris Elba and John Cena. The film follows the U.K. Prime Minister and the U.S. President as they become targets of a foreign adversary and are forced to work together to stop a global conspiracy. Key UK filming locations include Liverpool and Surrey, while PGGB Partner Longcross Studios handled several interior scenes, including the dramatic plane crash sequence, which featured a large-scale replica of Air Force One. Heads of State is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

PGGB Members Shamoun Butt, Antony Dyer, Louise Marie Smith, James Smith, Louisa Brammer, Charlotte Wright, Mark Gladwin and Scott Eaton were involved in the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Sara Putt Associates, Trevanna London Ltd, Audiolink, Salon Rentals, Molinare, Longcross Studios, Gallagher Entertainment, Team Engine, Location Collective & OMA Studio Group, CallTime Company Recruitment Ltd, CineArk and FilmFixer.

New in TV this week is the Netflix mini-series Too Much, revolving around a heartbroken New Yorker who moves to London hoping for a love story. Set in and filmed across London, the rom-com is now streaming on Netflix.

PGGB Member Shyam Bansropun worked on the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Buckinghamshire Film Office, Panavision, Sara Putt Associates, Mission Digital, Audiolink, Salon Rentals, TPH Global, Filmrichmond, The Base Camp Co., Team Engine, Media Insurance Brokers Ltd, Location Collective & OMA Studio Group, Warner Bros.
