The Best Work You May Never See: Javier Bardem, Director David Shane, Mother London Have “Evil’d Enough” For Uber Eats
Uber Eats launches its new brand platform for the U.K.--โWhen Youโve Done Enough, Uber Eatsโ--which celebrates moments of often-needed relaxation and downtime delivered by Uber Eats. The first in a series of films has been rolled out to showcase iconic figures entertainingly embracing their downtime.
โEvilโd Enoughโ stars Academy Award winner (No Country For Old Men) Javier Bardem, who is well known for playing malevolent characters during his acting career. This TV commercial is directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker David Shane and produced through O Positive for agency Mother in London.
Bardem said โPlaying a bad guy can be very demanding. Even villains deserve a little downtime after a long day of being evil. And thatโs exactly what Uber Eats delivers.โ
โEvilโd Enoughโ parachutes us into what appears to be the middle of a classic film scene, starring Bardem in his next iconic evil role. He and his generals sit at a menacing boardroom table in his lair, discussing the next steps for world domination (for what must be the millionth time). But when Bardem decides heโs had enough of evil-ing for the day, he knows exactly what he wants: a little downtime, provided by sushi ordered on Uber Eats.
Director Shane said, โItโs such a strong idea. Weโve all kind of chafed under the weight of other peopleโs expectations for us. We may not all be cinematic evil masterminds, but weโve all needed a break. Javier was a gem to work with. Super invested and really collaborative. There was never a false moment from him. It was just a lovely magical couple of days.โ
The integrated campaign launched yesterday (2/3) across the U.K.
