Late last week, we put up a 10 second teaser trailer for an unnamed advert and through various sources we then heard that it was going to be for a new Honda advert. Well, that advert (which will debut in the US during the Superbowl) has now been placed on YouTube. It’s not quite as [...]
Here’s a very odd, but a very good one! It would appear that Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown in Back to the Future) has used his most famous role for some sort of internet viral advertising campaign. The problem is, we’re not sure what for! SlashFilm put up this video which shows a couple walking down [...]
Sticking with the car theme, here’s another advert which we’ll get to see over the Superbowl weekend and this time it’s for Volkswagen Passat. They’ve used George Lucas’ Star Wars motto to great effect here where a child does his best to ‘use the force’ dressed as Darth Vader on various items around the house! [...]
I told you in the Nike commercial post that I put up a couple of weeks ago that we were going to start seeing loads of amazing World Cup adverts / commercials coming and here is another one that blew me away. Incase you don’t already know (how could you not!?), The World Cup begins [...]
We’re going to see a lot more of this sort of marketing coming up from these gigantic companies who have access / sponsorship deals with some of the best personalities in the world of sport. The World Cup stars 11th June and you’ll see in the post after this one that the big movie companies [...]

Twin Peaks was not just successful in Europe and America but it has also developed a huge following in Japan. In the early nineties the prequel film, Fire Walk With Me (retitled Twin Peaks: The Last Seven Days of Laura Palmer), was a big box office success, Dale Cooper’s favourite dish, Cherry Pie, became really popular and [...]
Studio Ghibli are most famous for their feature films such as My Neighbour Totoro (pictured), Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and many more wonderful films but they also occasionally make television adverts. They recently created an advert for a company called Nisshin Seifun Group to celebrate the company’s 110th anniversary. The advert was storyboarded by Goro Miyazaki, son [...]
This has nothing to do with film but made me laugh so much that I had to post it! Michael Bay was asked to direct the latest Christmas Victoria Secrets advert and I guess it’s probably hard to turn down when asked to basically look after lots of ladies wearing next to nothing. However, in [...]
