Also on the topic of film directors directing commercials, here's one Michael Mann did for Mercedes (with Benicio del Toro in it).

BMW also had a series of 8 (I think) 8 min long short films starring Clive Owen called "The Hire: _____" that had Wong Kar Wai, Tony Scott, Alejandre Gonzalez Innaritu, Guy Ritchie, plus writing by Andrew Kevin "Seven" Walker. Plus starring roles of Clive Owen, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Forrest Whitaker, Madonna, and more. They're worth checking out for what they're worth.

Anyone know some good ones out there? The foreign ones with Pitt and Clooney can be pretty funny.

Who needs UnderArmour when you have Nike skin!
The commercial looked pretty cool though. Maybe because of your last few posts about Valhala Rising and Severed Ways, but I was kind of expecting Peterson (Minnesota Vikings) in the snow to start chopping wood or hunting and gathering.

I thought that commercial was too creative and well designed for a marketing or Nike to come up with, now I know why :).
