BMW Films has brought online The Escape, a new BMW short film from Academy Award-nominated director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) featuring original BMW Films star and Oscar-nominated actor Clive Owen (Closer, Children of Men), who reprises his role as The Driver.
The critically acclaimed original series, “The Hire,” included eight BMW short films which were released in two seasons from 2001-2002.
BMW not only brought back Owen for The Escape, but also Bruce Bildsten as Creative Director, Brian DiLorenzo as Executive Producer and David Carter, who in addition to serving as a creative consultant, co-wrote the film alongside Blomkamp.
In addition to the new BMW short film, there are two behind the scenes videos that take a look at the production.
