Academy Award winner Viola Davis will play the President of the United States in Prime Video’s action-thriller, G20.
Davis and Julius Tennon also produced G20, which they described as a “high-stakes action film with a lot of heart.”
Directed by Patricia Riggen, the film follows U.S. President Danielle Sutton (Davis) as she attends the G20 Summit. When the summit is under siege, President Sutton becomes the number one target and must evade capture by her enemies to protect her family, defend her country, and help other world leaders.
About Davis in the role of U.S. President Sutton, Riggen said, “This is Viola Davis as you’ve never seen her—heroically kicking tons of ass in a global thrill ride.”
Joining Davis in the project are Anthony Anderson as Derek Sutton, Marsai Martin as Serena Sutton, Ramón Rodríguez as Agent Manny Ruiz, Douglas Hodge as Oliver Everett, Elizabeth Marvel as Joanna Worth, Sabrina Impacciatore as Elena Romano, Christopher Farrar as Demetrius Sutton, and Antony Starr as Rutledge.
Producer Andrew Lazar said, “It boasts a fantastic ensemble cast and is rooted in the fundamental drive we all have to protect the people and places that matter most to us.”
G20 was written by Caitlin Parrish and Erica Weiss, and Logan Miller and Noah Miller, with story by Logan Miller and Noah Miller. The movie is produced by Andrew Lazar, p.g.a., Viola Davis, and Julius Tennon.
It is a co-production of Amazon MGM Studios and MRC with Mad Chance Productions and JuVee Productions also producing.
