Saw the trailer to this when watching Minority Report. Starring Benicio Del Toro and looked pretty good. Ive just found out that it is actually a sneaky advertising campaign by Mercedes-Benz as Benicio drives this car throughout the trailer. Seems weird but:

1. Imdb lists no new film called Lucky Star.
2. Imdb lists no such film under Benicios name.
3. http://www.luckyluckystar.com is a naff website and says nothing about the film really.
4. Apparently BBC news did mention it yesterday.

So it all looks like a cunning hoax by Mercedes which I must admit looks like it will grab a lot of attention. Just thought Id let you all in on it before your mates try and catch you out.

Didnt Subaru bring out a band called "5 Star"!!

Geezer

There's no such film. It's a mercedes Benz advert made to look like a film trailer. The ad agency thought it would catch peoples eye, which it obviously has.

There is however, no mention of the model or even the manufacturer. It's either very clever or will be a huge egg on the face for Mercedes. Only time will tell.

I've seen, it does look good, almost wish it was a real film!
