Releasing on Prime Video Canada this Canada/July 4th holiday weekend, HEADS OF STATE delivers us us megawatt starpower and hilarity in the comfort of our homes. The Action-Comedy sees a former-Actor-turned-President of the United states (John Cena) and U.K. Prime Minister (Idris Elba) in a very public feud that could destroy their countries’ alliance. Both become the target of a very powerful enemy and will need the help of a top-of-her-game MI6 agent (Priyanka Chopra Jonas).

We are lucky to have joined a global press event with HEADS OF STATE stars John Cena, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Director Ilya Naishuller.

The Trio are asked bout the most challenging part of filming HEADS OF STATE.

Cena: The biggest hill was navigating Air Force One and making that beautiful, practical set look authentic to the action. That’s my little piece.

Chopra Jonas: I wasn’t part of Air Force One, but when I read the Script, I was like, ‘How do they attempt o achieve this?’, and we did. To me, I also loved The Beast. I love a good car chase in a movie. We shot it for a really long time. Tomatina was really fun. I was like, ‘Are we really going to the Tomatina Festival? So many set pieces in the movie. It was so much fun to do.

Naishuller: In terms of the sequence and making the pixel perfect tone, it’s the Gopnik fight in the Belarus village. John has some experience throwing people around. You need both Comedy and Action, and one can’t overshadow other. That took a lot of thinking and testing to get that perfect. But technically, I’d say it’s The Beast chase. The interiors are tough because you have four ppl flighting inside a small space. John is a big guy and then you’ve got Idris in there and there’s no space for the camera and you want the punches to feel good. Sometimes they felt a little too good.

Chopra Jonas: John actually felt it on his face!

Naishuller: John got clipped. And then we’d tease Wade Briggs who played The Chef, ‘Take three! Let’s do that again! And this time don’t punch John Cena in the face. John turned and said, ‘I’ve been hit harder by stronger people, but let’s not do that again.’.

Naishuller talks about assembling the perfect Cast for the Film.

Naishuller: I think we’d been shooting John and Idris for two-to-three weeks and then we do the train scene, which is a reintroduction of all three of them together. We’ve got the cameras and John is sleeping on train couch snoring, and Idris and Priyanka have a romantic, quiet, very reserved moment. We talked quite a bit before shooting, but the day of everyone shows-up in costume looking wonderful, Idris slides open door and Priyanka turns around and the camera starts going, and I thought ‘This is gonna be easy’.

The guys spent so much time in prep, the physical aspect, the character aspect. Again, no movie is easy to do no matter the scale, the budget, but having these three is a Director’s dream. I say that, but I have never been as professionally happy as I’ve been the last three years.

Naishuller comments on getting the tone exactly right here.

Naishuller: I love the ’80s and ’90s Buddy genre. The Movie was pitched to me as an Action-Thriller. I thought, ‘Why are you making this an Action-Thriller? Why are they ex-military?’. Let’s make them not as capable. Let’s make John’s character an ex-movie star-turned-president. So he’s got a great comedic perspective on everything. He thinks he knows what he’s doing, but doesn’t and that’s always fun. Getting tone right was a lot of thinking. I’d lay on the couch listening to a lot of music and play the Movie in my head. I have Synesthesia, seeing everything in colour. I always felt it was an orange movie, hence the title is in orange font. It’s great to have a vision and a great idea. I looked at the Credit list, there’s 2,600 people working on this movie and we were all rolling the boat to the same bountiful shore. It was not easy but not particularly hard.

Cena talks about his choice to accept his role in HEADS OF STATE.

Cena: Initially, the origin story of the Movie is the chemistry that Idris and I showed in Suicide Squad. We took a Script made for two badass guys to kick ass in a world of turmoil. Idiris and I both were honest enough to say, these characters need flaw. You have to be vulnerable enough to be able to laugh at your self. A lot of the Film is Comedy and that is the language of the world. Everyone knows how it feels to get a pie in face. The more you can lean into those moments, the broader the reach, the more the audience is entertained. I think we did a good job making the best movie, rather than ‘I want to be the toughest character’. I’d rather be the joke of the whole Movie and have world laugh, and be able to make another one.

Chopra Jonas is asked about the pressure of portraying a woman who must prove she is capable of being able to protect Heads of State.

Chopra Jonas: The Movie was very enticing from beginning. Parts like they this don’t just become, you need someone to conceptualize. The Producers, Co-Actors, Director are men, but they are Feminist men who recognize the muscle of the Film is woman. I thought it was really funny. Women are capable, but the sheer size of me between the three of us was visually hysterical. I felt really safe, taken care of and protected. They wanted to put me and my character at the front and that was very generous.

HEADS OF STATE arrives July 2, 2025 on Prime Video Canada.

Heads of State premieres globally on Prime Video July 2, 2025.

The film combines fast-paced action sequences and creative stunts with a heavy dose of nostalgia fit with all of the 90s charm of the golden era of buddy action comedies.

ABOUT HEADS 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.

By Mr. Will Wong

Would you believe one of this Summer’s most anticipated blockbusters can be enjoyed right from home?

JACKPOT! stars Awkwafina, John Cena and Simu Liu. Directed by Paul Feig, this Action-Comedy arriving August 15, 2024 on Prime Video Canada, is set in the near future where a new lotto, the Grand Lottery, has arrived in California. To win it though, you’ve got to kill the winner before sundown to claim the riches, which are worth billions! Katie (Awkwafina) finds herself in trouble moving to L.A. and finding herself in possession of the winning ticket. She tnen finds herself in a race to save her life from these jackpot hunters. She’s protected by lottery protection agent Noel (Cena), and he must fend-off rival Louis (Simu Liu), the latter trying to get a commission off Katie!

We were delighted to sit-in on a conversation with Feig, Awkwafina, Cena and Liu today as they did the rounds to promote JACKPOT!

Paul Feig, who has brought us his comedic genius in Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters (2016) and The Heat, is asked what drew him to this project.

Feig: I originally receive a script titled Grand Theft Lotto, thought it sounded stupid and was not going to read it. It was days later that my producing partner Laura Fischer said, ‘You should read the script, it is really funny!’. I got into page 40 out of 100 and said, I have to do this Movie. It was too much fun. It was the Jacky Chan movie I always wanted to make. It’s funny, silly, emotional – a story about someone in over their head.

Awkwafina explains her excitement about getting to work with Feig.

Awkwafina: I was attached to the Movie already and we were looking for a Director, and Paul was interested, I was so happy. I’m a huge fan of everything he’s done since Freaks and Geeks. Also, I’ve been friends with him for some time.

Feig: We had dinner and we were both on the same page. We both wanted to make sure it felt real and grounded. It’s always dangerous doing a story about an Actor because it can be difficult to get an audience invested in someone wanting to become famous. Our goal was to make it relatable, and I think we did that.

John Cena talks about joining the project.

Cena: It’s just another day in my life – a bunch of Comedy and Action! Another day at office! I don’t think there’s anybody better to play amatueur protection agent than me!

Awkwafina takes us through her fitness journey prepping for her role as Katie in Jackpot!

Awkwafina: This did kick off my fitness journey for sure, especially in the opening sequence. Simu and I were already in action movie together and for that one I did not train. We were just hanging out at Westfield. This one I felt like it was important for me to work with the team, who are amazing and my stunt double Kiera O’Connor, and also working with John (Cena) too. I really appreciate the way John handles action scenes and is about safety. I felt very, very safe when doing scenes as a group.

Cena: You killed it, you looked great out there. You did a lot of stunts yourself and nailed the physicality.

Simu Liu describes for us his character Louis Lewis, who is seen as the villain.

Liu: Is he a bad guy or just a solid, ambitious Entrepreneur? When you’re introduced to him, he’s kind of a boss – everything John’s character wants to be. Noel is an amateur ambulance-chasing insurance salesman, who’s running after people to hire him. Louis has money and resources to rent out billboards and has got a whole compound working for him. If you won the Grand Lottery, who would you rather go with to protect you?

Feig: And nobody rocks a three-piece white suit like Louis.

Cena: What I love about the Action here is that it’s comical and realistic. There is a scene in a strip mall where we’re going through a karate studio, a yoga studio, etc. What I love about Paul‘s creativity when he said this is his Jacky Chan movie that he wanted to film – when you look at the way Jacky Chan tells a story, he’ll choreograph a fight when he gets on-set. He’ll see the audio guy or a loose chair and he’ll incorporate all those things into the action. I thought the stunt team did an incredible job at incorporating various things you’d find in a karate dojo and all that stuff yields itself to Comedy. When situations were safe, I was happy to do it. But I’m not going to sit here and say I wasn’t grateful to my stunt double. All it takes is for you to lose one of your testicles to find out that you’ve only got two more. Safety is now my prime concern. I’ll do whatever is asked of me, but when they want the stunt double to come in, Spencer (Thomas) is my guy!

Simu Liu recalls an incident where he sent a stunt perfomer to the hospital.

Liu: 90 to 95% of my movements were more straightforward – a couple falls and I had an amazing stunt double Will (Tang) who stepped in. Do you remember when I sent a stunt guy to the hospital?

Cena: Don’t let that sleuth fool you, he’s an athlete! He was taking Choreography and amplifying it!

Simu: What was his name? I did a batckick and couldn’t see where I was kicking, the wires got crossed and I felt so so bad!

Cena: He was back on-set within an hour!

Awkwafina: The whole stunt team was the best, without them, action movies cant exist.

Cena: They were actually happy finally to do Action-Comedy so that they could laugh at the stunts.

Paul Feig comments on his casting eclectic and talented Casts.

Feig: When I do Comedy, I have people that I work with who are ‘money in the bank’, where they can literall have one line and I know they’re going to make it into something… It was like a team of these up and coming Comedy people.

Dolly De Leon whom I saw in Triangle of Sadness and was so great. I couldn’t believe we got her. I just like to have a deep team of really talented Comedy people who will take what we have and make it into something else.

Don’t forget to stream JACKPOT! when it arrives August 15, 2024 on Prime Video Canada.

Taking 18 months to film, starting and stopping over the course of the Pandemic, Clay Tarver (Silicon Valley) directs VACATION FRIENDS starring John Cena and Lil Rel Howery. Centering on a couple (Lil Rel Howery and Yvonne Orji) who go on a getaway to Mexico to get married. Along the way they encounter a wild couple (John Cena and Meredith Hagner) who crash their plans, becoming a bigger part of lives than they could’ve imagined! VACATION FRIENDS really gets its audience to think about that it meant for us to be on vacation at a different time in our lives.

We were lucky to join the Global Press Conference for VACATION FRIENDS and in attendance were:

John Cena – Ron

Lil Rel Howery – Marcus

Yvonne Orji – Emily

Andrew Bachelor – Gabe

Robert Wisdom  

Clay Tarver – Director

Clay Tarver tells us about VACATION FRIENDS‘ relatability.

Tarver: I used to be a musician and still sorta am. The touring life was that every time you’d meet some new friends, doing a big bonding experience that was almost every night. But I’ve met people on vacation in Mexico where I thought we were gonna be friends forever, but once we got to the airport I thought ‘Umm, maybe not’.

John Cena, admits he’s met people in real life like his Ron and Co-Star Meredith Hagner‘s Kyla, and how he responds to that.

Cena: I’d think to take the experience in. The effect is a boomerang, you get what you give. I don’t think there’s anything disrespectful about the two of them. I just think they operate under a construct that doesn’t necessarily adhere to what we think is structural society. They’re fast and loose and really enjoy the present. That’s a very rare commodity. I’ve met people like that in real life and had a blast. I don’t know if I’d ride that wave or how far I’d go out with them, but I’d certainly enjoy their company.

Comedian Yvonne Orji recalls her most memorable experience filming VACATION FRIENDS.

Orji: Was it our last night filming in pseudo-Mexico, but actual Puerto Rico? It was a large sequencing. We did the barhopping, the wrestling scene and it was kinda like wild. There’s a scene they’re carrying Meredith out the bar and it was mayhem, but in the best way possible. We also didn’t know that the world was shutting down on the other side of the ocean. So we were in our own bubble and that was fun!

She comments on what makes for a great performance on Film, being a Comedian.

Orji: The best performances come when you’re not in your head about performing and you’re just being present and enjoying the ride. Rel and I are both Comics, so being spontaneous and being in the middle of the moment and finding whatever spontaneity comes out of that, we just go with it!

Andrew Bachelor talks about some of his intense – although comedic – scenes with Lil Rel Howery.

Bachelor: I’ve known Rel for a while, so when you’re working with your friends, it’s easier to be mean to them. It was no problem at all!

Wisdom, who has worked on THE WIRE, tries his hand at Comedy here and talks about the fun he had.

Robert: There’s a big ballroom scene where I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, but it was fun! They pulled-off some real R-rated stuff with a lot of fun. And then there’s a scene… I had a ball let’s just say. I was a little tipsy and it was fun.

Lil Rel Howery and John Cena talk about their chemistry.

Cena: I think it all starts with the professional respect we have for each other. Both of us were excited about the Script and wanted to do the Film and Clay being kind enough to let us go and be us. As Rel puts it, the words and Comedy were on the page and we just leaned into what we wanted to show. I’d love to do it again!

Howery: I’m a big Wrestling fan and I was like ‘Yo! He really loves what he does!’. Working with someone else that loves what they do, it made it really easy for us to play. I love that fact that John was open to the idea of trying new things and having fun with it even if it was the silliest thing. So hopefully we can be Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor!

Cena and Howery talk about what they hope the audience will take away from VACATION FRIENDS.

Cena: Had we been on a normal schedule, this is when it would’ve been released anyway. Because we’ve had to modify what vacation means to us, all of us know what vacation means and all of us remember our vacation moments and people we may have met on vacation. If they get anything else that’s great, but I hope they’re entertained and that they laugh,

I think the subject matter is so relatable and so desperately needed right now that especially people are having to come up with Plan B vacations and alter yet again here we are 18 months into the world changing. I think it’s going to be good for people to just sit down and enjoy a film that might might make them remember a moment of their life and smile a little bit.

Howery: I think the audience is going to enjoy seeing, it’s almost like a blueprint of what was fun and this Movie is so funny, which is why I applaud Clay. One of the things Comedy is missing is just being straight-up funny. This really is just a straight-up funny movie and laughter is so important right now. Laughter is just good for the soul.

Cena: Being a physical performer in the WWE, the reason we transcend so many borders is that you get the action. I think what they brilliantly did in the Script was provide a ton of Physical Comedy so it’s also a movie you cannot necessarily know what’s going on with the audio but see the Movie and laugh along with it, because of the tremendous amount of Physical Comedy. And I think that’s gonna help us around the world and hopefully we can make a lot more people laugh.

A new F9 Trailer is here at long last!

Synopsis:
No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past.

Summer 2021 is the time for F9, the ninth chapter in the saga that has endured for almost two decades and has earned more than $5 billion around the world.

Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year’s The Suicide Squad).

F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tblisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.

See the Trailer:

F9 is in theatres Friday, June 25, 2021.
