Acclaimed filmmaker Ridley Scott has decided to end a long absence from the commercial world by teaming up with Hennessy to direct his first ad in 15 years.

The ad, set to debut in early 2019, is part of a campaign promoting Hennessy’s new release, Hennessy X.O. and built around the tagline, “Each drop of Hennessy X.O. is an Odyssey.”

As the man behind classics like Alien and Blade Runner, Scott presumably knows a thing or two about odysseys.
