CGI Audrey Hepburn Starring in Galaxy Chocolate UK TV Ad

YouTube Description:

Video Info (from Sky News Australia):

Audrey Hepburn is to front a new advertising campaign.

The cinematic icon - who passed away in 1993 - has been unveiled as the new face of Galaxy and CGI technology has been used to allow her to star in a new UK TV commercial for the chocolate company.

Audrey Hepburn's sons, Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti, said: 'Our mother often spoke about her love of chocolate and how it lifted her spirit so we're sure she would have been proud of her role as the face of Galaxy.

The advert perfectly captures her playful spirit and we hope audiences enjoy it as much as they enjoyed her movies.'

The commercial - which will air for the first time on Sunday (24.02.13) during a break from 'Mr. Selfridge' on ITV - sees Audrey sitting on a crowded bus wondering when she can enjoy her hidden bar of Galaxy. After catching the eye of a passing motorist, she leaves the bus to join the hunk and dine on her sweet treat in peace.

The campaign also sees the return of Galaxy's famous tagline 'Why have cotton when you can have silk'.

Eerie.

WWHHHOAAAAA.
Can't wait to see the making of. Maybe they used zbrush ?

First they ass-raped iconic Motown hits, pimping soap and biscuits and orange juice and now, raising the dead to sell chocky??

How about a Bela Lugosi Clamato™ advert or James Dean in a Volvo campaign??

This is going to be a huge deal and a boon to the estates of dead famous people. They'll all have agents.

Boy, she has some nerve.

I'm just waiting for Virtual Celebrity Sex on my holodeck. Me, Michelle Pfeiffer, Melissa Theuriau, Cate Blanchett, and Karen Allen circa Raider's are gonna have a party.

Baby it'll blow your mind.

Nice try. ALMOST back out of uncanny valley...

Let's face it - although a leap forward, it still looks completely unconvincing.

...i thought they pulled it off quite well.

Not really new technology. We've already seen Gene Kelly popping to Singing in the Rain and Fred Astaire shilling for vacuum cleaners...
