were BMW’s ad agency in USA that created the original idea of showcasing the cars in short film format. They wrote the original storylines and recruited the directors and then the actors. It was a brave and expensive move by the client as no one knew how well US audiences would respond.
It had actually been successfully attempted in Europe back in the 80’s by Publicis in London for Pirelli with an ad called “Double Indemnity”.
BMW Film
About 20 years ago, BMW created several short films with actor Clive Owen and a number of famous film directors; including Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), John Frankenheimer (Ronin), Guy Ritchie (Snatch), and a few more directors. They created a ...
Those originals were truly, well....
original . I remember enjoying them quite a bit. Anyway, the new one leaves me fairly uninterested........
Fair enough!
And Aston Martin doesn't need to make films... They've got MGM and the James Bond franchise for that!
Obviously....
this new one is done for a different generation with a different demographic in mind - I actually think it will work well for them. I am eagerly anticipating seeing the new DB12 in a few days ........
Me neither....
Another good bit of news for Aston is that Chinese company Geeley doubled its stake to become the third largest shareholder after majority owner Lawrence Stroll (via Yew Tree Investment), and Saudi Arabia's state investment fund.... Via : www.autoblog...

Yeah... That was a little weird!
Since when does a driver wear such an ostentatious gold watch - that would've told the passenger a hint that this is probably not a typical chauffeur.
Yes..
I recall the Nissan Z film. Very well done…good job showcasing the many virtues of the Z.
I don't even really remember it! It was so long ago!
Glad someone here does! You must be a young guy!
Tremendous technology and poise being showcased!
I especially like the fight sequence demonstrating all the leg room available at the back which I can relate well when my kids attempted something similar in my Lexus LS when they were younger 😂
Don't you drive a 7 series now?
Someone here had a Lexus LS and now drives a 7 series. I like the new 7 series, overall, but I don't find the front to be a very handsome looking machine. It's also very much taller than ever before. The previous 7 series was a better looking car in my ey...
Yes Patrick, good memory!
An Alpina B7 now. The LS was before the Aplina…Me too still trying to warm up to the design of the new 7. I like the feel, the tech.. Aesthetic wise, both front and rear lights are small for the massive size of the car…Dark colors such as black hide this ...
