De Niro, DiCaprio, Scorsese Star All Star in Casino Ad

Martin Scorsese has famously never created a film featuring both of his two go-to actors — Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio — but the two appear alongside the director in a new ad for Melco Crown Entertainment casino resorts City of Dreams Manila and Studio City Macao called “The Audition.” (According to Truth in Advertising, De Niro and DiCaprio were each payed a handsome $15 million for their appearances, but we’re not sure where they got that figure from.)

A trailer for the full-length video (which will also star Brad Pitt) recently made its debut online. It opens on Scorsese explaining to the pair that no, they won’t finally be working on a project together, but will rather be auditioning for the same role while living it up at the “fabulous” locations. Much drinking, gambling and arguing between the pair of actors on who will get the part ensues. Given the star power of the duo, and the added allure of them never having worked together, it seems a pretty fair bet that this will manage to go viral before the full-length version makes an appearance.

According to Producer Brett Ratner, “The Audition” will makes its debut “at the launch of Studio City in mid-2015.”

Scorsese, De Niro and DiCaprio Finally Team Up for a Film, Which Turns Out to Be an Ad

Martin Scorsese famously has two favorite actors, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. But De Niro and DiCaprio have never worked on a Scorsese project together—until now.

The trailer below, for a short film called The Audition, stars both actors and the director—and sets up a rivalry between De Niro and DiCaprio, with the two vying for the same acting role. The short film will reportedly be unveiled later this year—and will also feature Brad Pitt, for extra star power.

The catch? The whole thing is an elaborate advertisement for two casino resorts City of Dreams Manila in the Philippines and Studio City Macao in China.

It seems that old rascal Scorsese has gotten De Niro and DiCaprio to venture to Manila and Macao hang out with him at these resorts because these places are “incredible.” As you can imagine, this short has everything: drinking, glamorized gambling and hijinks. Plus, De Niro is menacing and DiCaprio is still sporting that dreadul man-bun-and-beard combo. 

Brett Ratner, a producer on the project, said in a statement: “This short film is a historic event because it is the first film ever to star such legendary actors as Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt in one film together.”

He adds: “The cooperation between Mr. Scorsese and the Melco Crown Entertainment brand is synergistic because of the fact that Mr. Scorsese directed the film Casino starring Robert De Niro. Mr. Scorsese has collaborated with Mr. De Niro on eight films and with Mr. DiCaprio on five films and is working with Mr. Pitt for the first time. Our hope is that the trailer for The Audition gives audiences an early look into what will surely be an important cinematic experience directed by one of the most culturally influential directors in the history of Hollywood films. I look forward to the global premiere of the film at the launch of Studio City in mid-2015.”



Santander transforma Robert De Niro no mala do cinema

Alguém consegue imaginar Robert De Niro – justo ele – se comportando mal em uma sala de cinema? Foi exatamente esta situação que imaginaram os criativos da Arnold Worldwide para Movie Marathon, filme que integra a campanha de rebranding do Santander nos Estados Unidos.

No comercial, o narrador explica que as pessoas que abrirem uma conta no Santander ganharão ingressos para uma maratona de filmes de Robert De Niro… acompanhados pelo próprio De Niro. O que parece uma ótima ideia, a princípio, se transforma em uma verdadeira provação, com o ator reproduzindo clássicos do mau comportamento em salas de cinema – falar o tempo inteiro, spoilers, atender o celular (que neste comercial é um dos momentos mais divertidos), etc. Vale o play.
