BMW does a 'Waltz' for 2021 Christmas flick

By CARSIFU | 20 December 2021


MUNICH: BMW has roped in actor Christoph Waltz to star in a short Christmas film.

In the BMW film, the Academy Award winner meets two old acquaintances: Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, and the BMW iX.

They are supported by Alex Hirschi, known as Supercar Blondie, star designer Alexa Chung and Kai Langer, Head of Design BMW i who also appear in the clip.

Waltz's partnership with the BMW Group was started by Zipse.

The company works with pioneers from ecology, social sciences, fashion, sports, music, film and other cultural disciplines. The goal is to create a deeper understanding of the needs, desires and trends of the future.

Zipse invited Waltz to speak with designers, technology developers and strategy experts from the BMW Group.

The clip weaves in a cat-and-mouse game into a Christmas setting.

The BMW Christmas film wouldn't be a real Christmas film without a happy ending. How the story ends is revealed at the end of the clip.

One giveaway: It's also about an Aventurine Red BMW iX that leaves nothing to be desired.
