ClarkDevlin

While we have Clive Owen reprising his role as The Driver in a 15 year long awaited short film that's part of The Hire series, titled The Escape, roaring the engine of a BMW for the eponymous company, we get Mads Mikkelsen playing a similar role in a series of short films produced by Ford who authorized to use their products.

The series is called Le Fantôme, directed by Jake Scott (Ridley Scott's son), who produced the second series of The Hire. Mikkelsen plays an international debonair assassin called Fantôme opposite a rival assassin to be played by Barbara Steele.

Hm... somewhat the idea of a killer international assassin operating against a female assassin harkens to one OC (original character) whom I made a while back.

An old female assassin? :D

Would love to see your work.

First time I've watched an eight minute commercial of my own free will. Pretty enjoyable, actually, I'll be on the lookout for the next one.

@BeatlesSansEarmuffs, also try the one with Clive Owen.

I wasn't aware of it before but I certainly am now. I'm going there very shortly...

@Ludovico will like this. The Fatomas part anyway. We've discussed this before.

Would so love to meet this guy. Quite possibly my favourite villain!

ClarkDevlin

And now, a hero. :D
