We thought you should know that English filmmaker Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity, Dirty Pretty Things) created a promotional short film for Volvo starring Robert Downey Jr. The Route V50 is like a wacky Twilight Zone episode that finds the Iron Man actor running into himself over and over again at different points in the time-travel tale. What's better than RDJ acting like a loon and mugging for the camera?

Nothing — except three RDJs, and that's exactly what we get in the cryptic little short. Sure, it's a TV commercial, but it's the most engaging advertisement you'll probably watch today. We'd buy more stuff if the Weird Science star were selling it to us — he's totally RDJceptioning us with his eyes. The video is a few years old, but it's worth another watch, so have it — and start ticking off the 92 days until we get to see Iron Man 3

Here's an awesome ad by Frank Miller of The Dark Knight Returns, 300 and Sin City fame, starring Captain America's Chris Evans and Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler, Across The Universe).  Even the director himself gets a cool cameo behind the wheel in this extended cut of the original noirish fragrance commercial.

The project was shot at the famous Cinecitta Studios in Rome and was Miller's first TV commercial experience when Gucci brought him aboard back in 2010 to film a series of spots for their new Gucci Guilty.  This is the longer, sexier version for Gucci Guilty Black, with rain-washed boulevards, star-crossed lovers, glowing neon, ample skin and one killer cafe racer.

Here's what Frank Miller had to say on Gucci's website:

“We know these characters now and what together they are capable of doing and of being. We all think of this as a mini-movie, with this our latest episode of the storyline. The color scheme is stark: green and red light, against which our mavericks’ eyes – and intentions – of our protagonist smoulder like coals.”

Spritz yourself liberally then go take a wild ride ...
