Duncan Jones French Connection Advert On Uk Tv Sunday

He’s the savage son of the TV tube…

When Trevor Beattie of the BMB Agency predicted great things for Duncan Jones in 2006, (01.03.2006 NEWS: INDY TIPS DUNCAN JONES AS MEDIA STAR OF 2006) he stated that “He’s currently working on what I think will be one of next year’s commercials of the year”.

Well, I’m not sure if Trevor was talking about Duncan’s Fashion v Style advert for French Connection, but the film certainly fits the description.

The 90 second ad premieres on TV in the UK during the new Sky screening of 24 at 9:00pm tomorrow evening (Sunday). Then it will be on again during The Brits coverage in the week, and various other places including cinemas…and most likely even on the world-wide information super-highway too. For those of you not in the UK, we hope to have a streaming version available for BowieNetters to view shortly.

The grabs above don’t really give much of a clue to the content, suffice to say it’s a particularly classy bit of work that betrays a wonderful sense of humour on Duncan’s part. The two girls in the film, Carley Harrop (the blonde) and Talia Santoa, are incredible and could whoop the arse of even the butchest of BowieNetters, seeing as how they aren’t just pretty faces, but real life stunt girls!

The beautiful accompanying operatic music was written specifically for the advert, including lyric contributions from Duncan, even if they are sung in Italian… Any translations from Italian BowieNetters would be most welcome.
