Rupert & Asylum Drop Droids


Verizon literally goes to war with its touch-screen competitors in this new spot for Droid. Brought to you by “author of epicness,” Rupert Sanders and VFX heavy-hitters, Asylum; this piece is a call-to-arms more than it is a commercial. Sure, we expected something like this with Rupert’s recent work for ODST. However, this treatment is unexpectedly refreshing for a phone.

I’m personally glad to see a brand whose image counters to the safety, lightness and warmth of some of our other recent hand-held devices. Congrats to mcgarrybowen for being bold enough to take a little risk with this launch in a time where everything is so safe.
