The beloved movie alien E.T. has come back to Earth, this time reuniting with his friend Elliott, who is now an adult with kids of his own.
Elliott’s family shows E.T. how to surf the web via Comcast Xfinity and use a remote to play holiday movies on a big-screen television. In return, Elliott teaches the kids some tricks of his own, most notably how to fly, literally, on their bicycles.
Lance Acord of Park Pictures directed and shot the live action for Goodby Silverstein & Partners, with visual effects from the a52 studio.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles.

Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
