It’s game day, and once again the ads are crazy, with some of our favorite star-studded spots right here!
The Super Bowl is nearly upon us, and in addition to the battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, the game will also feature movie trailers and star-studded commercials. Some Super Bowl commercials have already been revealed, including a Häagen-Dazs spot in which Vin Diesel reunites with Michelle Rodriguez and Ludacris.
I suppose that will have to tide us over until the next Fast & Furious movie. Diesel posted a video on Instagram of the making of the commercial, and reflected on how far the franchise has come. “25 years ago on the streets of Los Angeles, we created something that became bigger than any of us could have imagined. Not just a movie—but a family that stretches across the globe,” he wrote. “Being on PCH, filming this Super Bowl spot, brought it all rushing back. The same stretch of coast where Pablo and I raced 25 years ago, practical driving, living those moments that would change our lives forever. Now here we are again, Dom and Letty sharing that coastal sunset moment, surrounded by local crew members I haven’t seen in years.” The actor has previously said that they will be returning to Los Angeles for the next installment.
Next up is Ben Affleck’s latest Super Bowl commercial for Dunkin’ Donuts. They’ve been teasing this one all week, and it turns out that the sixty-second spot airing during the Super Bowl is actually only a trailer for a seven-minute long short film featuring both Ben and Casey Affleck (no Damon though), Jeremy Strong, Jay & Silent Bob, Bill Belichick, and many more. Check it out:
Another super cool spot, which was revealed a few weeks ago, is an ad for Hellman’s mayonaise, with reunited the iconic stars of When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. They even got Sydney Sweeney to deliver the classic, “I’ll have what she’s having” line. Check it out:
Ya know, in this era of legacy sequels, I gotta say, When Harry Met Sally 2 is one I’d actually love to see (as long as they can get Rob Reiner to direct). If you need a reminder, the Super Bowl will air tonight. We’ll see more than a few trailers during the game, but a special sneak preview of James Gunn’s Superman will air during the Puppy Bowl.
