Naomi films Christmas advert for El Corte Ingles

Naomi is continuing her successful partnership with her The Impossible director J.A. Bayona, and this time the two-some are translating their talents into commercial making! Bayona is directing Naomi in a Christmas advert for Spanish department store El Corte Ingles, and they were seen filming it in Madrid a few days ago. I wonder how long this has been in the works, and whether it is something that has just come up recently due to The Impossible‘s impressive success in Spain.

A video of the making of the advert has been posted on YouTube – unfortunately it seems to be missing the start and end, but it’s great none-the-less, and we hear Naomi talk about the success of the film. WAtch it further down this post. Here is a translation of the description used for the video:

The beautiful Naomi Watts, Australian actress protagonist of “The impossible”, returns to the orders of most respected Spanish filmmaker of the last year, Juan Antonio Bayona, whose film is still ravaging at the box office. On this occasion, as the protagonist of El Corte Inglés Christmas ad. A spot full of glamour that has rolled at the Casino of Madrid.

In the making off you can see the festive atmosphere under a heavy snowfall in the center of Madrid, where Naomi Watts wanders placidly in the light of the lights of the city.

I’m also posting other translated articles about this announcement further down this post. In the Gallery you will find HQ photos of Naomi filming for this a couple of days ago.

I can’t wait to see the end result!!

The actress Naomi Watts and the film director Juan Antonio Bayona, creators of the most successful in the history of cinema in Spain with ‘The impossible’ film, will be responsible for starring in a department store Christmas campaign.

Watts will be at the orders of Bayonne to record an announcement of El Corte Inglés, which at the moment is surrounded by secrecy and is both unknown script, such as the duration of the same.

‘El Corte Inglés’, who last year was attended by the Spanish actor Tony Leblanc to star in his spot, has been characterized so far by their ads of traditional character with protagonists that gave life to traditional families in purely Christmas scenes. But on this occasion he opted for glamour and talent of the American actress, and the international recognition of the Spanish director.

The Australian will be put under the orders of the director to shoot the Christmas ad, which for the moment is surrounded by absolute secrecy, as it is logical to keep the element of surprise until the end.
