Two 45 second TVCs have been produced, one featuring Bruce Lee and the other Seth Rogen.

Each combines real footage from original casting tapes with a brief clip showing them in a key role, which went on to help cement their career.

“SKY is looking to make more of these, including perhaps a glimpse at a couple of Kiwi stars.”

 

Says Maurine Talpin, SKY’s head of brand: “We’re excited to be sharing these casting tapes with Kiwis. They’re a natural extension to our invitation “Come With Us”. It is great to be able to show true behind the scenes content. Watching the ads you can really see the beginning of the superstardom that awaited these actors.”

 

The Casting Tape spots are being run on Free to air television from Tuesday 2 September.
