This is the first Baileys Christmas advertisement in 5 years, so it’s bound to be something to talk about. It debuts this Saturday but we’ve got a cheeky little preview for you.
Directed by Black Swan’s choreographer and Natalie Portman’s husband, Benjamin Millepied, the advertisement is a a dramatic and contemporary recreation of ‘The Nutcracker’ ballet and will be aired on Saturday during the network premiere of The Black Swan.
The scene is set as three girls arrive at a party to the festive ballet music accompaniment. Soon after arriving the central ballerina catches the eye of a male dancer across the room and the scene is set for the magical furore that ensues.
