"Bonjour Bing! Ca va? Long time no bark?!" 🐶 📞 🐶 OMG!! As a dog lover, this is pretty much THE best thing I've ever seen?! Easily one of the best movie promos ever made. Seriously. Bleecker Street's new movie The Friend is now playing in movie theaters nationwide - one of my favorite films from 2024 (it premiered at TIFF last year - my review). To bring some additional attention to the release, they cut together a very fun "Bing and Messi FaceTime" promo - connecting two of the most talented canine movie stars in cinema history. Messi is the French Border Collie dog who starred in Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall, appearing at the Oscars in an iconic bit where the dog claps in his seat. Bing the Dog is an enormous, lovable, super cute Great Dane pooch who stars in The Friend, giving one heck of a good boy performance. Seriously. Bing plays Apollo, and Messi plays Snoop, both of them giving two of the finest dog performances that have very important roles in the movie. They're not just best friends, they're key parts of the cast and the story. This is just a funny video they cut together using FaceTime footage of the two doggies barking at each other about the movie business. I appreciate the cute creativity & most importantly - go see The Friend in theaters now. // Continue Reading ›
