Heads of State: Redux 

 

In 2018 Croydonites commissioned artist Richard DeDomenici to make a low-budget recreation of scenes from the Hollywood movie American Assassin, which were set in Istanbul, but actually filmed on St George’s Walk in Croydon. The Redux, a shot-for-shot 4-minute-long remake, was filmed with local participants in the original locations. Richard returned in 2024 to Redux the award-winning romantic fantasy All of Us Strangers in leafy Sanderstead and The Whitgift Centre.  

 

“I loved the interaction that Richard gave us, with the backstory and the anecdotes as much as really trying to be faithful to the original.  It was a lot of fun and did the original film justice”

All of Us Strangers Redux participant. 

 

Now he's back with a new Redux of the high-octane action movie Heads of State, starring Idris Elba, John Cena and Priyanka Chopra - specifically the Warsaw chase scenes, which were filmed in Croydon Town Centre.

 

We are looking for participants for lead roles, background extras and crew.

 

If you fancy yourself as the next Elba, Cena or Chopra and want to take part in this Redux – email anna@croydonites.com with two photos (a headshot and full-length photo), your height, and up to 50 words about yourself.

 

Filming will take place over a few hours on the evening of 11 October. The premiere will screen at the David Lean Cinema during the Croydonites Festival on Saturday 14 November at 3.30pm. 

 

All participants will receive a free ticket to the premiere, and invited to a small wrap party afterwards
