Super Excited – "The Hire" from BMW films

June 24, 2007 in Media by JeniQ | 1 comment

Eons ago in a distant past, my friend Thon made me sit down in front of his television and we watched a series of short films with his fabulous surround sound system. He had downloaded all of these films from the BMW site and we watched them off his laptop. I remember thinking they were excellent. Was that because of Clive Owen? Perhaps.

There are 8 films. Each film is a different story set in a BMW with a driver. The driver is always Clive Owen, and each film is directed by a different director. Directors include John Frankenheimer, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-Wai, Guy Ritchie, Alejandro González Iñárritu, John Woo, and Joe Carnahan.

Madonna even stars in the Guy Ritchie vignette!

Anyway, I discovered about a year ago that you could register with the BMW site and get a free copy of the films. Dave has a BMW, so I thought, perfect! Unfortunately, when I went back to the site several months ago, I discovered that “The Hire Films series is no longer available for download or purchase.”

How disappointing. Not letting myself get down about it, I scoured Ebay and Half for copies. I was disappointed to discover that the DVD was going for about $30 – more than I thought it was worth. However, I did find one fabulous person selling the disc for $13! It just arrived today – I’m so excited!!! Damn, I hope it plays!

Did I mention how sexy Clive Owen is?

    Pretty damn sexy. And I laugh every time he says “My warrior woman” in “Sin City.”

    Also, mad props on all the linkage:)
