Peter Berg needs to rebound from the pile of monkey crap that was BATTLESHIP and what better way than directing a kick ass Super Bowl commercial? Easy, grab Dwayne Johnson and make it a hell of a lot of fun.
This Got Milk commercial has the pair throwing every single movie cliche at Dwayne Johnson in his quest to get some milk for some hungry kids. Aliens, clowns, cats in trees, wild animals, you name it. This commercial is fun, well directed, and makes me want to get a glass of milk.
Berg and Johnson made a great team when they made THE RUNDOWN back in 2003. Maybe this commercial will lead to another movie together.
In the meantime, Dwayne Johnson has G.I. JOE: RETALIATION coming soon followed by FAST AND FURIOUS 6 which now has an official plot synopsis. Check it out: Since Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian’s (Paul Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Luke Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
Sounds like a good follow up to the excellent FAST FIVE. Justin Lin returns to direct stars Paul Walker, Luke Evans, Joe Taslim, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky, Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano. FAST AND FURIOUS SIX opens on May 24th.
