Sigorney Weaver is an amazing person. She has intelligence, strength and beauty, but her's is REAL beauty. Also she's the one person I've ever seen who can actually make smoking look elegant. Every woman should be more like her.
They ought to try one with Robocop, especially reenacting the scene where Robo first confronts Dick Jones, and then malfunctions due to his "Directive 4"...from there, Ronny Cox as Jones looks at the camera and says, "Oh, don't mind the officer here...he's just a little perturbed because we DIDN'T install DirecTV into his mainframe!"
There's a reference to this commercial in the Extras (Ricky Gervais series) finale. An audience member has a Sigourney Weaver t-shirt with her saying "DirectTV!"
@GWStreicher Yes, espceially since it is illegal to use a person's likeness, whether portraying a fictional character or not, without written consent. She most likely did the voice, then the rest is done with CGI.
I'd like to see DirectTV do one of these with Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. Better yet, lets see Daniel Plainview from There will Be Blood. That would be epic.

@billywool : The reason for that is because the company Lola VFX did retouch her. Lola VFX makes DCE= Digital Cosmetic Enhancement, "vanity effects". They reduce the age of the stars and make them beautifuller!!!
Wow, thats really CREEPY. I wrote this comment more than a year ago...and last night I watched Alien Director's cut and i received your reply while i was reading about this movie on wiki..... Thing is that I haven't watch or read anything about Alien for the past YEAR!!! LOL CREEPY
Sigourney Weaver looks so young in this commercial thanks to computer-generated facelift. They used the same technique with Patrick Stuart and Ian McKellen in the prologue of X-Men 3.
in the uk we got sky we can upgrade to sky plus you can record programs rewind as your watching and we got over 1000 for like 3o sumthing pounds. we got radio channels aswell aandd we can have it hoked up around the whole house.
Wrong. DirectTV has one of the most cheapest bills for an average $60.00 per month. Tell you the truth, I have experienced Dish Network in the late 90's and their satellites are crap. They hardly get a signal in certain areas where they provide them. Plus Dish Network has to load every group of 20 channels or so, while DirectTV picks up a channel from the other end of the guide w/o loading once but it kinda like buffers between channels.
haha. i love this commercial and saw Aliens, just so i couls see what the commercial was based on! i love how it looked just like the movie did, with the alien, loader, even Sigourney Weavers hair was the same!
well dancergirl, the closeups and speaking scenes were done for the commercial, but the rest of the shots are from the original movie. Awesome commercial though!
At this point, they're going to do this on every movie, even "Schindler's List". The scene of the little boy hiding in the toliet sewage will look ahead to the viewers and say, "Did you know Direct TV has unlimited channels at a low, low price?! It's worth escaping Auschwitz for!"
For you dumb people. I work for Directv and here's a little fact.....Directv owns 49% of Dish Network....so when you go on your rant about switching to Dish Network because you DVR OR HD DVR crapped, just know Directv is still getting your money......please go to cable, that's what I have I and I work for them.
This DTV commercial and the one with Charlie Sheen are done using Image Metrics software. The persons face is analyzed using image recognition software and then mapped to a 3D model that looks exactly like the real person. The end result is that the 3D model can then be re-inserted into any video scene via standard compositing techniques. Check out the Image Metrics website... This is not Sig in makeup.... google a recent pic of her for proof.
actually u are wrong Charlie Sheens add is like Doc Browns add.Its them really,mixed into the scene.Its not a mixed with software.And if u look close,the jerey is not the exact same,and Sheens face looks older too.But its a mix from the real scene and today.Nothing fake about it.Sheen talked about it on Jimmy Kimmel
eehhhh you are kidding me right. Of course this is Sigourney Weaver, but they cloned her like in Alien Resurrection and used the clone for this commercial ;)
When they can make her younger with CGI like this, she can easily do Alien 5 before its too late. GO RIPLEY GO....
It's unfortunate how "Alien (5)" turned out. I really like "Delicatessen" and "City of Lost Children". This commercial, on the other hand, is kind of disquieting.
Thank you for posting this up. Aliens is my all time Fav Sci Fi Flick, I hope either cameron or Scott will do Aliens 5 and put the seris to rest and clean up the mess Jean-Pierre Jeunet left.
If you freeze frame you can see that the teeth look off. I'm guessing it's a smoother CGI morph that's better than even Forrest Gump. They may have hired Weaver for the voice over would be my guess.
Is that genuinely Sigourney Weaver from 2007? Or was this advert made in 1986? If it's the former... wow, she looks younger than she did in Alien Resurrection 10 years ago. Amazing. Oh, please Ridley Scott... direct a decent Alien 5 to finish the saga properly...
lol this was really good!
