Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon teams up with Modern Family star Sofia Vergara in new film Hot Pursuit.

The film is a female-driven comedy directed, produced and led by a strong presence of women on set.  Academy Award winner Witherspoon, also one of the film's producers, plays an uptight police officer who has to protect the more outgoing widow of a drug boss, played by Colombian-born Vergara.

Witherspoon and Vergara both shared their excitement  on social media for the film which premiered on Friday, May 1.

On Twitter, Witherspoon posted a picture of her on the red carpert and a sweet picture with Vergara after the premiere.
