Has anyone else in the UK seen a trailer for a new film called "Lucky Star"? (staring Benicio Del Toro)

I saw it a few times at the cinema and it looked like a very good film indeed! (in some scenes it had Benicio Del Toro driving around in what looked like a SL55 AMG)

However when I inquired further as to when the film was due to be released, I found out that it wasn't in fact a film at all!?

But instead an elaborate advert for the new SL55 AMG!!

So I am disappointed that what looked like a very good film turned out to be just a car advert

But on the other hand it is a very good advert none the less...

I've found it on the net - definitely worth a look... Save Target As (14.2Mb)

Spotted two SL55AMG's the other day in town - a black one on Berkeley St. and a silver one on Knightsbridge (license plate "MY51AMG"

) - nice cars!

I also had the chance to see that trailer previously thanks to UCSDxB0i who also happened to point out that it was not the SL55 but in fact the SL500 with the sports package.

its a great video with very good production values and I like the lighting they used- especially the early morning scene at the place where hes burning the papers. well done.

MB marketing is now even going up against BMW marketing. They are really covering all their steps.

Yes, Jason, it's a SL500 which Eric didn't realize until I told him

I actually like the BMW GB adverts in the uk, any of you guys seen the 7 series one?? when the car is parked in a swimming pool and there is no water...... then a lady jumps in to have a closer look and swims around the car, then the car drives out like there was no water. O and the pool is empty to start of with

It's really good

looks like they're following in the footsteps of BMW's "The Hire" series ...
