Mountain Dew has revealed its Super Bowl ad, which shows Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross comically recreating one of The Shining’s most iconic scenes.
The spot is essentially a 30-second spoof of said scene, except this time it’s Cranston in the role of maniacal Jack Torrance, the character famously portrayed by Jack Nicholson in the 1980 horror film. Opposite Cranston is Ellis Ross, who plays Torrance’s terrified wife as he tries to bash down a bathroom door to attack her.
