It looks like an 'Ocean's Eleven' spin-off, but that's not what it actually is!
Art and advertising have rarely merged as seamlessly as they did in this odd short film, the likes of which also has the distinction of being one of the most expensive ever made, starring none other than Martin Scorsese , Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt.
It's a hilarious premise and while one can envision a feature-length scenario with several escalating acts of sabotage and high jinks, the film’s punchline instead opts for another celebrity cameo from the likes of Brad Pitt, who comes in after Scorsese has an epiphany from seeing one of his billboards. The short and sweet project took about two days for the stars to actually film, but with big casino money backing them, each walked away with $13m paychecks.
The sense of meta-advertising peaks at the very end, when De Niro and DiCaprio attempt to make amends after watching their mentor Scorsese sat down at a table with Brad Pitt, scripts in hand. There, they have a little conversation about what to do together, planning on grabbing dinner, hitting the tables, and going to the spa all in one.
