VISA campaign uses Orangutans in commercial

[Guest guest]

I found the following information on an add

 

with five orangutans and Catherina Zeta-Jones

 

for visa international.

 

 

 

 

 

Visa

 

Catherine Zeta Jones and a bunch of cheeky orangutans star in this new brand

campaign for Visa <http://www.bandt.com.au/view_company.asp?companyid=27119>

International that will be aired across ten markets in the Asia Pacific

including China.

 

It is the latest in Visa's " All it takes " campaign and follows the

much-awarded " Tuk Tuk' commercial starring Pierce Brosnan, which was also

created by Clemenger.

 

It opens with Zeta Jones and her Asian guide driving their jeep along a

scenic tropical jungle. The tranquility is broken when a bunch of orangutans

trick them and take off with their entire luggage.

 

Quick-thinking Zeta Jones manages to trade a banana for her handbag that

contains her Visa card. Relieved and confident, she knows she has the power

to make things happen. She orders a truckload of bananas and as it arrives,

one by one, the orangutans return all her luggage.

 

Shot in the reserve forest in Shah Alam just outside Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

the commercial took over seven days to film, with over 70 crew members

brought in from the US, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore. The

commercial also features five orangutans from Malacca.

Does anyone know if these orangutans are the same ones that were illegally

imported from Sumatra to Malaysia? Malacca orangutans???
