14 DAY TRIAL // “Have you ever noticed that in Hollywood movies all the villains are played by Brits?” actor Ben Kingsley asks in the new Jaguar 2014 Super Bowl ad. He should know, having played The Mandarin in the latest “Iron Man” installment, one of the biggest movies of last year.
Jaguar has released the “making of” for their brand new ad, which will premiere at the Super Bowl, the biggest televised sporting event of the year, a true mecca of marketing. It’s everything a true movie buff could ever want – with the bonus of featuring one of the most appreciated cars in the world.
Sir Ben Kingsley, Mark Strong, and Tom Hiddleston, all known for bringing to life brilliant, memorable villains, teamed up for the ad with Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper, who helmed “Les Miserables” and “King’s Speech,” both received with excellent reviews from both fans and critics.
Their goal, as the video above will show, was to create a type of short film around the idea that British actors are always preferred for villains in Hollywood, and that, whenever they’re on the job, they deliver the best there is in terms of range, complexity, style, and appeal.
No villain is complete without a perfect car, one that is as beautiful, powerful, and hypnotizing as he is. A Jaguar, you guessed it.
You only have to wait a few more days for the full ad but, if the behind the scenes footage left you asking for more, below are three truly amazing teasers. Enjoy!
