A commercial for Japanese company Softbank Mobile, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Wes Anderson (RUSHMORE).

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Brad Pitt's really getting a lot of use out of that silly little mustache.

It's so short! But it makes it more Japanese I suppose... even with that little blurb in the end and the dog chain.

Everybody's getting mileage out of our mustaches.  "Ladies and gentlemen, I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight...."
