If they have to sell non alcoholic beer they approached the ad from the right perspective. It’s meta with the ‘Daniel Craig isn’t James Bond’ theme, which is pretty fun. The ‘real’ Bond’s superpower is drinking on the job and whenever he wants. Craig the professional actor has to be more disciplined!
Absolutely, with the whole ‘NTTD is his last one’ thing, it’s nice how they’re playing into that in a tongue-in-cheek way. Why not?
Love it!

A great example of how much clout Craig carried in the making of this film.
Did take him 14 years to earn…

“Daniel Craig? Nice try, Mr. Bond.”
Which sounds a lot better than 4 films.

It is asking for a password…?
Yes, seems that way.
How absurdly well produced is this 7 MINUTE beer commercial?
EDIT
And here’s a different two minute cut from Heineken.

Dunno wot to make of that…?
The long version tells a slightly different story, love it. Truly ridiculous effort for an ad, looks like its own film.
Yeah, looks like the 7 min version is a director’s cut not approved by Heineken/EON that wasn’t really meant to make its way out there
Could well be, especially with the comment…
Advert is superb and the short is quite touching, I see it as an EON sanctioned mini thank you to Craig. The advert is probably ( NTTD withstanding) the closest Craig will get to doing a Sir Roger Bond.
I really enjoyed the actress , thought she gave a lovely performance alongside Craig.
No mention on Premieres as yet.
I called the RAH and the Film and Television charity, as the CTBF is now known, and there were no confirmations forthcoming from either. Anyone else with ideas?
If they’re going to the Royal Albert Hall again, it could be March 30th or 31st. Or any weekday in the week before. It won’t be later than that, else it wouldn’t be a World Premiere (based on the RAH’s online timetable and the fact that I know one or the other international Premiere date - not allowed to talk, yet, sorry).
