Heads of State & More

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.
