Nicolas Cage Lands Role in 'Lost in Translation 2?'
Filed under: Fandom, Home Entertainment, Trailers and Clips
Wait a sec, strike that -- this is actually real. Surfing the net today, I came across a page housing several commercials starring some of your favorite celebs. Oh yes, when their summer home in Tuscany needs a new kitchen or bathroom, odds are you'll spot a high profile celeb or two appearing in a random ad for, say, cosmetics or faster internet or ... whatever it is Nicolas Cage is singing about in the video above.
I'm not sure what he's selling here -- from what I understand, there are several Japanese companies named Sankyo; ranging from pharmaceuticals (Sankyo Pharma) to flutes (Sankyo Flute Company). It would be odd if Cage was selling flutes and playing a piano in the commercial, but I wouldn't put anything past them nutty Japanese. Check out a ton more commercials over here, and let us know if you have a favorite foreign commercial starring a popular American actor or actress. (Personally, this one will always be my favorite!!!)

Jackie Chan is (bizarrely) currently starring in an advert for the UK chain Woolworths, which basically sell a bit of everything, mostly toys, film, music and games.
Quite what is going through his head during the ad is anyone's guess. I half expected Chris Tucker to burst in at some point...
Catch it here:

Seems like he's pretty clearly expressing his love for playing Pachinko

And google confirms theres a not-meaningless amount of websites containing both the words "Pachinko" and "Sankyo".
