Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie are among the Hollywood stars who will walk the red carpet in London tonight.

The premiere will take place in Leicester Square Gardens tonight, and the film’s director, Chris Columbus and author Richard Osman will also be in attendance.

The team attended a photocall at the British Library in London earlier this week to celebrate the film’s release.

Steven Spielberg is also a producer for the film through the Netflix and Amblin Entertainment partnership.

The Netflix film follows four amateur cold case sleuth pensioners who find themselves amidst their own murder mystery after a body shows up on their doorstep.

While the movie isn’t set to be released until August 28, London is set to celebrate it early as it hosts the UK premiere.
