TBWA\Toronto has rolled out “Weather,” the second of three spots in the agency’s Nissan Juke campaign (“Dread” being the first). Directed by Psyop, the ad seems like its parodying the ending of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, what with the whole dropping something into the fiery volcano to save the world bit. The only thing missing is Frodo in the driver’s seat.
Apparently, Juke’s all-wheel drive system is powerful enough to withstand any form of weather and save a city from annihilation, thus meriting it urban legend status alongside Bloody Mary, the Jersey Devil and, um, Candyman. Too bad the car’s design isn’t all that intimidating. See credits after the jump.
