(I have added a link to SU2C's official website. David Fincher and Cean Chaffin, his producer and partner, are listed as friends of the campaign. Also, there is a slightly larger video of the commercial, and I have already written the organization, if there is any chance to obtain a really HQ-version of the clip for us all).
Are you ready to jump up and get excited? If so, now's a fairly good time for that: Out of absolutely nowhere praiseworthy fanatic Kevin has sent this link our way -- a brand new David Fincher commercial for SU2C Organization.
Yupp, I know you didn't see that coming. It's just made the title space at anonymouscontent.com and features an incredible ensemble with Morgan Freeman, Keanu Reeves, Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci, Tilda Swinton and ... I don't know, I think I spotted Tobey Maguire (and was that Jennifer Love Hewitt at the beginning?)
I like it! It's not fancy, no fx-battle, just some beautiful photography and music ... and a good message at its core.
Thanks so much Kevin! Everyone, this way:

Great job. He seems to get rid of the notion to show off his visual fx muscles. And I suck down fincher news like a baby sucks on a mother's boob, while having the same content expression on my face (except my that my eyes are open).
ReplyDeleteI feel like a cop at an accident scene: "Nothing special to see here people, move along!"
ReplyDeleteThe woman in the beginning is Christy Turlington (AKA Mrs. Edward Burns).
ReplyDeletewhat's the song?
ReplyDeleteThe song is "Rise" by Eddie Vedder from the "Into The Wild" sound track.
ReplyDeletesomething by Dave Matthews Band, sounds like it.
ReplyDeleteThe song is "Rise", by Eddie Vedder, from the "Into the wild" soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteAs for celebrities, let's come up with a list together; I seem to spot Christy Turlington, Susan Sarandon, Michael Bloomberg, Christina Ricci, Tilda Swinton, Morgan Freeman, Keanu Reeves, Casey Affleck, Lance Armstrong, Jodie Foster, Tobey Maguire, Tony Hawk and Sydney Poitier at the end and as the narrator.
Anybody agree or disagree? Either way, there's stuff missing, like the orchestra conductor type guy...
Let's put our heads together, y'all!
isn't eddy vedder dead?
ReplyDeletethe soundtrack is by Eddie Vedder 'Rise' :

I think the composer/orchestra guy is Howard Shore. He's known for his scores on Lord of the Rings, The Departed, Panic Room, Se7en and The Game.
ReplyDeleteThe 'composer guy' is extremely famous, inordinately talented violin virtuoso and polio-stricken Itzhak Perlman, together with his student orchestra from Juilliard in NYC. Because he's in a wheelchair and can no longer walk, let alone stand up, it's inspiring to see him encouraging others to 'stand up to cancer.' To stand up for all those who no longer can.
