The Brad Pitt Commercial You Won't See In America
X17 Online — While big time movie stars rarely appear in TV ads in the US, anyone who's seen Lost In Translation knows stars can score a big pay day by doing commercials abroad. That's just what Brad Pitt is doing here, playing a bumbling tourist in this spot for a Japanese mobile phone company. He pushes a broken down car, is nearly run-over by a group of bicyclists and uses his camera phone to take a picture of... well just watch the video and see. This adorable spot is apparently a take off of the 1950s French film, Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot and was directed by Wes Anderson. Brad has done several commercials for the ...

Brad Pitt Softbank Mobile Commercial
HollywoodGrind - Celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors celebrity scandals Hollywood gossip blog — Brad Pitt made a commercial for Softbank Mobile … and it wasn’t very good. As much as Softbank paid to make the ad, and with Wes Anderson directing it, you’d think it would be a whole lot better. It’s tough to make a good commercial in 30 seconds, but it’s been done before, just not this time. However, Pitt could still win some ad award for this commercial, because he’s Brad Pitt and not the Maytag guy. © Copyright HollywoodGrind ...

Brad Pitt’s Japanese cell phone commercial
Cele|bitchy — Back in the day, big celebrities could film advertisements that would be aired only in other countries and no one in the U.S. would know about it. It was a great way to make some extra cash quickly, and they wouldn’t be seen as less serious actors for promoting a non-luxury brand or appearing in a dumb ad. But thanks to the internet, that kind of secrecy is long gone. It’s easy to find overseas print ads and commercials with a simple Google search. Brad Pitt might have forgotten this when he recently filmed a spot for Softbank Mobile to be aired in Japan. While big time movie ...

Wes Anderson directs Brad Pitt in Japanese cell phone ad
The Yellow Stereo — via /Film Yes, more videos. Normally not the sort of thing I would post, then again, I did post about Wes Anderson’s previous commercial for American Express a few years back. I really have no problem with a director like Anderson working on something like this, as it still allows them to be somewhat creative while still putting a little extra cash in their pocket. In this Japanese cell phone ad, Wes Anderson directs Brad Pitt, who seems to be working with every big-name filmmaker you could possibly think of ...

Brad Pitt Gets Nutty For Japanese Commercial
Backseat Cuddler — The folks at Softbank have an interesting sense of humor, and they evidently figured out how to get Brad Pitt to play along. This new commercial for the Japanese cell phone company is a cross between an old episode of Benny Hill and some goofy French movie. Or maybe I just think it seems like a French movie because there’s a French song in the background. Anyway, check it out and see what you think. Personally, I love this comedic side of Brad!

Brad Pitt In A Wes Anderson Commercial? Yes.
TheBadandUgly.com — If anyone was wondering what Brad Pitt would act like in a Wes Anderson film, this Japanese cell phone commercial should answer your questions: he would overact and look something like a late 50s cartoon character/tourist. This isn’t as good as the foreign cell phone commercial Brad did with David Fincher, but most movies aren’t that awesome. So who’s the next Soft Bank guest director? Wachowskis? ShareThis
