- Arab News

Mexican actress and singer Eiza Gonzalez this week turned heads at the premiere of the Saudibacke­d action movie “The Ministry of Ungentlema­nly Warfare” in New York City.

The star dazzled in a metallic gold strapless gown by New York-based label Jason Wu. The dress boasted intricate three-dimensiona­l designs accentuati­ng the waist and chest.

Complement­ing the ensemble, she showed off matching gold heels from Maison Ernest and Cartier jewelry. Her brunette bob was styled in a voluminous blowout.

She posed on the red carpet alongside her co-stars Henry Cavill, Henry Golding, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Cary Elwes, Babs Olusanmoku­n, Henrique Zaga and producer Jerry Bruckheime­r.

The premiere was attended by Mohammed Al-Turki, film producer and CEO of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Foundation. The Saudi foundation, which backed the movie, took to Instagram to share pictures of the premiere captioning the post: “Live from New York, the premiere for ‘The Ministry of Ungentlema­nly Warfare,’ Red

Sea Film Foundation is proud to have supported through its Red Sea Internatio­nal Film Financing initiative.”

Based on recently declassifi­ed files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, the movie is an action-comedy that tells the story of the firstever special forces organizati­on formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials, including James Bond author Ian Fleming.

The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventi­onal and utterly “ungentlema­nly” fighting techniques. Ultimately, their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.

The film is directed and co-written for the screen by Guy Ritchie (“Sherlock Holmes,” “The Gentlemen” and “Wrath of Man”) and produced by Jerry Bruckheime­r (“Top Gun: Maverick,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “National Treasure”).

“The Ministry of Ungentlema­nly Warfare” will be released in cinemas in the Middle East on April 18 and internatio­nally on April 19.
