It takes a lot to part a Nespresso lover from his or her coffee. But leaving this world for the next was that step too far for George Clooney, in the fifth installment of the «Nespresso—What Else?» saga.

Still spooked from his last encounter with John Malkovich in last year’s spot, George is relieved to hail a cab outside a Nespresso boutique—until the driver turns around to name his price. Reluctantly, George offers his just chosen favorite Nespresso Grand Cru capsules to cab driver John Malkovich. George Clooney stars with fellow Academy Award winner John Malkovich in the latest TV commercial in the highly successful series that first premiered in 2006.

«Last year’s TV campaign featuring George Clooney and John Malkovich was received with such enthusiasm by our brand community that we felt compelled to reunite these two extraordinary actors,» commented Guillaume Le Cunff, International Marketing and Strategy Director, Nestlé Nespresso S.A. «The film edit proposals that we have received through our online Club Member engagement prior to the spot’s launch suggest that our audience has come to expect a twist in the plot. We are excited to finally reveal the storyline and hope that the interplay between the two stars, as they manoeuvre each other for their favorite Nespresso coffee, will continue to delight our Club Members.»

The new «Nespresso «Cab Driver» commercial can be seen on www.nespresso.com/whatelse and on the recently launched Nespresso YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/nespresso from November 7, along with behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot.
