Allison Williams<\/a>\u00a0was joined by her former NBC anchor father Brian Williams on a rare red carpet a decade after his suspension for lying about surviving an RPG attack in the Iraq<\/a> war.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old actress\u00a0made it a family affair at the premiere of her new film M3gan 2.0 as she reprises her role as Gemma from the 2022 hit thriller M3gan, and she produced both films as well.<\/p>\n

She was spotted on the red carpet at Bad Roman in New York City<\/a> on Tuesday, posing with her 66-year-old father before the screening.<\/p>\n

Williams was spotted in a hot pink flowing dress that flowed to the red carpet and obscured her footwear for the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her wavy auburn locks fell to past her shoulders as she accessorized with gold bracelets for the premiere.<\/p>\n

Her famous father Brian Williams stepped out with a light blue dress shirt under a black suit coat.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The 37-year-old was joined by her former NBC anchor father Brian Williams on a rare red carpet a decade after his suspension for lying about surviving an RPG attack in the Iraq war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He completed his look with black pants and black dress shoes as he joined his daughter and wife Jane Stoddard Williams.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Brian famously replaced legendary NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw in 2004 and held the coveted position until 2015 – when he was suspended for falsely claiming that he had been in a helicopter hit by enemy fire during the Iraq War.<\/p>\n

A subsequent investigation found that he had made other inaccurate statements about his experiences covering events, and he lost the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He eventually left NBC in November 2021 after 28 years<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the first M3gan film followed Gemma (Williams), a roboticist whose young niece Cady (Violet McGraw) is sent to live with her after her parents die in a car accident.<\/p>\n

Gemma had been secretly developing the child-sized android dubbed M3gan (Model 3 Generative Android) away from her work, with the android successfully bonding with young Cady.<\/p>\n

While the prototype is initially deemed a success, the M3gan doll develops a violent parental attachment to Cady.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Blumhouse thriller was released in early January 2023, a time of year often considered a box office graveyard for unwanted films, but M3gan proved to be a surprise box office hit.<\/p>\n

Williams returns as Gemma, who, since the first film, has become an author and advocate against artificial intelligence<\/p>\n

The film took in $95.1 million at the domestic box office and $180 million worldwide, from just a $12 million production budget.<\/p>\n

A sequel was given the green light, following a defense contractor stealing M3gan’s programming to create a military robot dubbed Amelia.<\/p>\n

Williams returns to the cast alongside Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez as Cole and Jen Van Epps as Tess.<\/p>\n

\"Brian <\/p>\n

Brian (seen in Baghdad in 2007) famously replaced legendary NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw in 2004 and held the coveted position until 2015 – when he was suspended for falsely claiming that he had been in a helicopter hit by enemy fire during the Iraq War<\/p>\n

The sequel is directed by original M3gan director Gerald Johnstone from his own script, based on a story he created with original M3gan screenwriter Akela Cooper.<\/p>\n

The film is scheduled for release on June 27, going up against Brad Pitt’s new racing film F1.<\/a><\/p>\n

Both films are expected to debut in the $30 million range at the box office this weekend, though some give F1 the edge with anywhere between $35 million and $40 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
