George Clooney returns in his latest installment as a Nespresso brand ambassador, as he’s never been seen before.  Directed by Grant Heslov of Santa Monica-based Untitled Inc., “The Quest” sees Clooney suited up in armor, majestically saving a medieval kingdom before hitting the streets of New York City on a quest to find his heart’s desire, the kingdom’s most exceptional coffee. Co-starring in the epic adventure is one of the silver screen’s most famous queens, Natalie Dormer. This is the largest global Nespresso campaign to date, launching in more than 30 countries.

Oscar-nominated (for the film Nebraska) cinematographer Phedon Papamichael shot and Chris Franklin of Big Sky Edit cut “The Quest.”
