Turkish Airlines taps Ridley Scott for Super Bowl commercial
Posted in: Uncategorized
Sir Ridley Scott will make his return to TV commercials for the first time in nearly 20 years during the Super Bowl. The award-winning director of “Gladiator” and “Alien,” directed the short film, “The Journey,” for Turkish Airlines, a clip of which will air during Super Bowl LIII on Feb. 3.
Anomaly partnered with Scott to direct the six-minute film, which showcases Istanbul and is based around the plot of a cat-and-mouse chase across the city’s landmarks. The goal is also to promote the city’s new airport. Sylvia Hoeks (“Blade Runner 2049” and “The Girl in the Spider’s Web”) stars in the film.
“I decided to go back and click-into advertising because I love the chase and the speed of the job,” Scott said in a statement. “The fact is that this project went beyond the limitations of traditional advertising, and allowed me the creative freedom to tell the story.”
