Audrey Hepburn Stars in New Chocolate Ad


Audrey Hepburn is set to take our screens by storm once again this weekend, over fifty years after her heyday, in a new chocolate advert.

Cinema's finest star is brought back to life thanks to clever use of computer generated imagery in the new commercial from Galaxy.

The clip will debut this Sunday during ITV's Mr Selfridge and is set during the 1950s on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, conjuring up hints of Hepburn's classic movie roles - including 1953's Roman Holiday, for which she won an Oscar.

The ad uses the soundtrack Moon River, the Academy Award-winning song written for the actress and first performed in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It also features a custom-made vintage polka dot dress.

Edit: from a different article
This time, Hepburn’s sons, who control her estate, authorised the use of her image, for which they will have received a fee. Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti say their mother would be “proud” of her new role, adding in a press release that she “often spoke about her love of chocolate and how it lifted her spirit”.

The execs wanted to take it out and she fought for it to stay in with an "Over my dead body!" or similar. And then it goes on to win an Oscar. womp womp.

I'm sure this commercial will get some hate, but I thought it was really cute. Audrey is absolute perfection! :)

These type of commercials are always kind of creepy to me, lol. I love Audrey though.
treeeeeeee 26th-Feb-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
They always just make me think of those horrible Orville Redenbacher commercials, where they did the same sort of digitally-reanimating-dead-people thing
my_moloko 26th-Feb-2013 02:44 am (UTC)
Ughhh, that was so creepy.
die2nitelive4ev 25th-Feb-2013 11:05 pm (UTC)
She's looks so creepy in this. I knows it's Audrey but its a CGI nightmare of her
tippythepoodle 26th-Feb-2013 12:08 am (UTC)
Agreed! The eyes look too anime!
Lets be real though! Her sons did this shit for the money!

jmfunnyface 26th-Feb-2013 12:39 am (UTC)
Her sons have been whoring out her image so much for a few years now.
babbss 26th-Feb-2013 12:11 am (UTC)
Yeah I knew something was off. The eyes weirded me out.
m_h_p 26th-Feb-2013 12:50 am (UTC)
She looks like a really good Sim.

Some angles were kinda creepy, but overall I loved it :)
ladywilde80 25th-Feb-2013 11:07 pm (UTC)
so the premise is that Audrey Hepburn rises from the dead, looking young and fabulous only to act like a complete idiot and accept a ride from a stranger.


well... okay then.
iamalreadyinuse 25th-Feb-2013 11:50 pm (UTC)
complete idiot? excuse u, she's the only one on that but using her wits to get where she needs to be and then she refuses the man's sexual advances to instead use him for what he's actually good for: giving her a free ride around town.

Also, she has chocolate!
ladywilde80 25th-Feb-2013 11:59 pm (UTC)
well, chocolate certainly gives your take on the situation a definite edge.

hmmm, reconsidering my original assessment now :)
ericasays 26th-Feb-2013 12:09 am (UTC)
oh nono sir, i have no time to have sex with you. it is most imperative that i accept your ride into town so i can partake in some chocolate, of the candy variety natch.

thank you and good day!
fubukihakuryu 25th-Feb-2013 11:07 pm (UTC)
I particularly don't like it because of the issue of consent. :/

“You celebrities need to realise that the public owns you for life, and after you’re dead, you’ll all be in commercials dancing with vacuum cleaners.”
