Well, this is a plot twist we never saw coming. Let us first set the scene; it’s Superbowl Sunday, unless you have a death wish you’re not in the stadium to watch the night’s antics but instead at home, chomping on wings and fries until your heart’s content. If you’re like us, the anticipation lies on the musical extravaganza’s of the night, the likes of The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus and Billy Idol blowing your socks off more than, dare I say, the football players. Then an advert comes on, the first of the many, many, many more you’ll see tonight, but this one is not like the others…

We’re not entirely sure what’s going on with the Cadillac creative team, but whoever ingeniously decided to hire Timothée and Winona Ryder for their biggest ad of the year deserves serious cool points. The haunting production casts Chalamet as the son of Edward Scissorhands, following in the same footsteps as his father as he and his bladed fingers try to adjust to modern life. Besides a finger transplant, the only thing he really yearns for is a car, as spotted by Ryder when she sees him playing VR car games (how bloody 2021 can it get?).

In the end, the Cadillac’s hands-free driving feature prevails over all, and Edgar Scissorhands gets his hands on a fresh new ride so he doesn’t have to commute on the bus anymore, hooray!

Check out the insane advert below…
