Netflix’s reimagined western The Harder They Fall opened the London Film Festival on Wednesday. The film, which lists Jay-Z among its producers and is directed by Jeymes Samuel, features an all-black cast, including Idris Elba and Regina King. King and Elba hit all the right notes on the red carpet, and come November 3, the film’s global première on Netflix, we’ll get to see if they did so on-screen as well. Something Extra brings you the highlights.
