This is an Apple board. Have we all forgotton "1984"?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I would love to direct a "spiritual successor" to that ad for the Mac's 25th anniversary in 2009. I know exactly how I'd do it, too. I'd keep the "cyberpunk" setting, but I'd make it extremely cinematic - I'd make it basically look like a few scenes ripped right out of a movie. (That's right, scenes - ideally, Apple would be generous enough to allow me several of the $2 million dollar ads, enough to establish a simple plot - a rescue mission, perhaps - that continued throughout the Super Bowl.) Throughout, there'd be a few clues for the fanboys that it was a Mac commercial, but the general public (or at least those that didn't remember the original ad) wouldn't know until the end.

Unfortunately, I'm a few years too young - I will still be in film school when 2009 rolls around.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
