‘The Harder They Fall’ Regina King, Idris Elba, Jay-Z Open London Film Festival With “Revolutionary” Western ‘The Harder They Fall’ The Netflix-backed Western — also starring Jonathan Majors, LaKeith Stanfield, Zazie Beetz and Delroy Lindo — marks the directorial debut of Londoner Jeymes Samuel. OCTOBER 7, 2021 Jonathan Majors, Jay-Z, Regina King, Jeymes Samuel, Idris Elba, James Lassiter attend the world premiere of The Harder They Fall' DAVID M. After a pandemic-impacted year where the BFI London Film Festival was, like so many others, forced to scale back much of its offerings with very limited in-person events and almost zero international guests, Wednesday night saw the U.K.’s biggest cinema event roar back to life. The Royal Festival Hall, on the banks of the River Thames and a new setting after the festival shifted from its traditional base in Leicester Square, was the location for the grand 2021 revival and where Regina King, Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, Regé-Jean Page, Ted Sarandos, Jay-Z and, according to reports (she ducked the photographers), Beyoncé, were among the major names in attendance for the opening night world premiere of Netflix’s all-star, all-Black Western The Harder They Fall. #reginaking #fabtv #netflix
