Full Video: The Escape (Blomkamp/BMW)

BMW Films has released the full version of The Escape to YouTube. The short film brings back Clive Owen in his role as The Driver which he previously played in The Hire series of eight shorts made for the car company back in 2001.

Each film featured Owen as the mysterious Driver hired to complete various missions and was directed by some of Hollywood’s best and brightest talent. Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) helms the new short which also stars Dakota Fanning, Jon Bernthal and Vera Farmiga and reassembles much of the creative team from the first eight films.

I can see this getting Clive Owen gigs in movies like this again.  They’ve even released a poster;
