No murder on a Luxurious train
Nespresso sets the stage for an enigmatic start of the year with global brand ambassador George Clooney, who returns to screens as ‘Detective George’. Joining the US actor are Eva Longoria, Camille Cottin and Kim Go Eun in a mystery-inspired 60-second advert.
The light-hearted yet suspenseful film transports viewers aboard a fictive luxurious train, where a captivating mystery takes place. A glamorous heiress, portrayed by Camille Cottin, reports a puzzling theft – not of her diamonds or pearls, but of her precious Nespresso coffee capsules. Thankfully, Detective George is on hand to investigate, uncovering clues and a suspicious cast of characters which ultimately lead him to the train’s kitchen. As the tension builds, the question on everyone’s mind is: who is behind the heist? Could it be the Chef, played by Eva Longoria? Or the Sous-Chef, played by Kim Go Eun?
Speaking behind the scenes while shooting the film, lead actor George Clooney said: ‘Shooting with Nespresso is always a great time, and this particular campaign was unbelievably fun because of the script and the cast. This was my first time working with my long-time friend Eva, who made the perfect culinary duo with Kim trying to deceive me. They both brought such a vibrant energy to set and worked so seamlessly together. It was also wonderful to be reunited with Camille. She always brings a touch of sophistication, which was perfect for this role.’
Through playful twists and turns, the advert invites audiences to solve the mystery alongside ‘Detective George’, blending humour, charm and sophistication – the result is a playful ‘whodunit’ set against an elegant backdrop. Showing on YouTube and Instagram.
