Very interesting, thanks mummyboy11.

 

The voiceover is a quote from Fleming's Playboy interview: "Exact details of individual private lives and private tastes are extremely interesting to me. I think that even the way a man shaves in the morning is well worth recording."

 

I don't think any of those guys in the ad are meant to be Bond, they're just portraying the sorts of characters that Fleming found interesting; fighters, explorers, etc. Interesting that these ad men are remembering Fleming instead of focusing on the new film (the Heineken ad still wins for me, though!).

 

Oh! Didn't knew that!

 

I guess they did their research well to get that quote about shaving to introduce the product! eh

Apparently the Heineken ad cost £64 million...

Deary me.  The online division must be run by the eager, but useless, interns.

As Killefer would've said, 64 mil's a helluva chunk o' dough.

£64m? I take it that's for the WHOLE marketing campaign, not just this ad, right? Wow.

[SecretAgentFan]

If true - that´s WAY too much.

[Matt_13]

There's no way that's true. It's a glossy ad, but not worth 64 million pounds.

The full campaign wouldn't cost that much! Daily Mail (right wing nut cases) have just pulled a number out of their arse to fill space.

Maybe that is how much they have spent with Eon / MGM, or whomever gets the sponsorship berries.

Great scoop that Gillette ad. Thanks for that!!

Am I alone in hoping that SPECTRE features something of the spirit contained in this ad?

I wish Craig was more like this in his movies. I much prefer his hair and suit in this than any of his films to date. I like that it all looks more relaxed.

 

Anyone ID'ed the music they use in this Ad? Wouldn't mind having it.

Exactly, it's a Fleming homage more than a Bond homage - quite clever I think. Though I can see how it is possibly a bit too obscure in its references for some.

I do love the Heineken ad, however, though not Craig's hair.
