Hollywood A-listers Jessica Alba and Zac Efron have returned for the fifth instalment of the ‘Dubai Presents’ series of trailers by Dubai Tourism, again directed by award-winning Aussie filmmaker Craig Gillespie.
The latest spot to drop is called “A Riveting Mystery” and again plays on the whole cinema genre that runs through the previous four spots.
However, this time around, we do get a nugget of information that Efron’s character is an archaeologist, while Alba gets introduced as a professor. Good looking and smart, too!
The series of ads are the work of London creative agency Mother, with reports there are six in total.
All the spots are beautifully shot and it’s clear the agency enjoyed a very big budget indeed, but again they’re a little bleak and violent, and don’t offer up the usual raft of attractions that you’d expect from a travel ad.
Check out ad number five for yourself below:
Relive the previous spots here: “Dubai Presents: A Captivating Saga”, “Dubai Presents: A Brand New You”, “Dubai Presents: A Romance to Remember” and “Dubai Presents: A Five-Star Mission”.
