The BFI's famous Southbank building by the River Thames played host to star and producer Julianne Moore, plus co-stars including Sebastian Stan, and director Benjamin Caron. Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, who wrote and co-produced the thriller, were there at the event by Apple Original Films and production company A24.

"No one is who they seem in 'Sharper,' a neo-noir thriller of secrets and lies, set amongst New York City's bedrooms, barrooms and boardrooms," says Apple in a statement about the premiere. "Characters compete for riches and power in a high stakes game of ambition, greed, lust and jealousy that will keep audiences guessing until the final moment."

"Sharper" will stream on Apple TV+ from Friday, February 17, 2023, but ahead of that, it is also getting a limited theatrical run from February 10, 2023.
