- The soundtrack to the film has been written by singer songwriter Lana Del Rey. The exclusive track named 'Burning Desire', was inspired by the Jaguar F‑TYPE.
- The F‑TYPE is the first two‑seater sports car from Jaguar since the iconic E‑type was launched 50 years ago.
Today, Jaguar and Ridley Scott Associates released the trailer to their short feature film named 'Desire'. The film stars Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis, Jordi Molla and Shannyn Sossamon alongside the all‑new Jaguar F‑TYPE. Lana Del Rey, who recently won a BRIT for Best International Female, has written the title song 'Burning Desire'. To view the trailer click here .
The breathtaking trailer gives a tantalising glimpse of what's in store for viewers when the film is released later this Spring and paints a picture of the dramatic storyline without giving too much away.
It's also a chance to see the award winning line‑up of cast members in action, as well as the brand new F‑TYPE, that will take centre‑stage in the film.
Casper Delaney, Producer, Ridley Scott Associates comments:
"After weeks and months of working on the script and developing the film with Jaguar, it's fantastic to see it come to life."
The trailer gives a hint to what viewers can expect from the short film, which will be released in April.
Damian Lewis commented:
"When Jaguar approached me about the F‑TYPE Desire film I was really intrigued. I then got to read the script and decided it was definitely a project I wanted to be a part of. Working with the director Adam Smith from Ridley Scott Associates, it promises to be an adventure. Jaguar cars have played some iconic roles in film for many years and I'm looking forward to being the first to drive the F‑TYPE in film".
The film tells the story of Clark (Lewis), who delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert. Directed by Adam Smith, this is a story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed.
