Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have teamed up to star in a teaser ad campaign for a casino.
Two short films featuring the stars were released on YouTube earlier this week, one promoting City of Dreams Casino in Manilla and the other Studio City Casino in Macau.
Both ads, which are shot in the style of a movie trailer, serve as a sneak peek for a longer spot called "The Audition", which is scheduled to air later in the year and will coincide with the casinos' launch date.
From the teasers, it appears the plot centers around DiCaprio and De Niro flying into Studio City, Macau, to fight it out for the same movie role being directed by Scorsese. Brad Pitt is expected to make an appearance in the third trailer and the final film.
"The Audition" plays on the fact that De Niro and DiCaprio have starred in many of Scorsese’s films but never together. Scorsese is also directing the ad as well as appearing in it.
