Sky+ HD advert - Anthony Hopkins (40s version)

[ValiskofDarkness]

The irony is that this video isn't in high definition at all.

[Deadmanfan4life]

what is he quoting?

Anthony's voice automatically makes my day better.

[MrJac53]

@Deadmanfan4life Bladerunner, Rutger Hauer

[lerebellebadboy]

COULD ANYBODY WRITE ME WHAT ANTHONY HOPKINS IS SAYING PLEASE??

Thank you!!!

[HandMadeMoviesLC]

@lerebellebadboy

Ive seen things you people wouldnt beleive, attack ships on fire of the shoulder or Orion. I watched C- Beams, glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain.

[stankubrick1]

Nothing wrong with that, tantive4

[tantive4]

Is it wrong to prefer this version to Rutger Hauer's? I prefer Hopkin's intonation.

[danetenshijanai]

Every time he says the last two lines, I start to cry a little. Just the way he says it then the beaming smile afterwards just kills me.

[jason01442]

What is up with his neck...it puts me off

[boiledelephant]

Ah, it's like soothing balm for your mind after a hard day, this advert.

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” – Roy Batty, Blade Runner (1982)

[trickynho]

i love the idea of high definition. unlike this clip.

[videochemist]

I only saw this advert once on TV and swore it was Rutger Hauer. I even got into a little argument with my friend over it. Next time it comes up I'll switch sides and convince him it was me claiming this advert starred Anthony Hopkins all along.

[canyoudothis23]

@videochemist hah yeh they look very similar

[ilDeJil]

this guy is the epitomy of cool

[Andrewduane101]

anyone know if the one where he talks about Norman Bates in Psycho is up here?? Think that one's great!

[gringodeltoro1]

YEEAAAH, use a worn up movie god to sell me a movie channel.... FUCK OFF !

[provenelk]

hopkins is timless just like blade runner

[TheEloeo]

He kinda looks like Hauer.

[Allthosemoments1]

Indeed he does. And what he says about the 'Tears IN Rain' scene in Blade Runner is spot on. My favourite cinema moment of all time.

[coliniron290953]

is there one he talks about rocky??

[robjdaledgeV2]

ya hes like talking about meeting sylvester stallone in it its not as good as the shinning one though

[Darkez982]

i really wanna see that one, how many are there?

[irishroverhorse]

yes

[anafeatures]

his voice is beautiful. as is the music. :)

[Greenfish654]

beautiful advert.

the writing in them three or four lines is incredible.

[Scifon]

Agree'd, Bladerunner is one of the best scifi's ever made. I love this advert, the music, the setting, Mr Hopkins and I even find the female narrator's voice very calming. Good stuff :)

[MedBreeze]

I love this advert... does anyone know if the Jose Mourinho one has been uploaded as i cant find it on here?

[danjosimo3000]

yeah mate thats the one i was after, i can't find it!!

[xaxie1]

you people make me sick, some of you. hopkins is not just a great actor hes a genius, he has made his own way of acting up

[TheEgger]

It's from Blade Runner, not The Shinning... really people?

[soundass]

Anthony Hopkins is clearly a whore.

[pqzrkxs]

I hope you die of cancer. Soon.

[BIGMAC788]

does any1 have the subtitles for this vid much appreciated :)

[Fangtasia83]

i love his voice

[BIGMAC788]

same its so inspiring

[spunjamin]

anthony hopkins. what a FUCKIN legend.

[amaysingsnake2236]

damn right fuckin love the guy

[peanut29]

ohh that is one of my fav film moments ever!!

[123borehamwood]

I think these adverts are cheesy.

[babyncola]

which advert is the one where he says "spooky, I love spook" .. I really want to watch the film he's talking about thanx

[babyncola]

oh found it nevermind (The Shining - incase anyone else wanted to know)

[spunjamin]

I'm pretty sure he's talking about "The Shining" starring Jack Nicholson - adapted from a Stephen King novel

[moleogod]

nope blade runner one of the best sci-fi film ever made its the ending look it up

[robbbie85]

What are you talking about? He even says "in Blade Runner a scene with Rutger Hauer". In the longer advert he quotes Gloria Swanson from Sunset Boulevard.

[jazrambo]

the moments you love deserve high definition

well wtf is the HD vewrsion of this

[gavt303]

plain brilliant

[robjdaledgeV2]

i want him to be my grandad

[yoniggadave09]

legend

[Greenfish654]

it's not the voice, or him, it's the writing.

[raulands]

does anybody have a link to the jose mourinho one,..(sky +hd advert)? ,... I´ve heard it a couple of times on the radio and recon its brilliant,..

[carlstss]

he does it better then the original without even trying

[Tool2525]

Don't be ridiculous. Just because it's Hopkins, doesn't mean it's better. Nobody can better Rutger Hauer's delivery of that monologue just like no-one can better Hopkins' "I ate her liver..." speach. They both broke the mould with those two characters.

[carlstss]

yea i went and watched the movie afterwards and realised i had made abit of an over statement and its ''i ate 'his' liver'' talking about the census man who trys to test him

[sussie5]

i love this advert its so fasanating with Anthony Hopkins he draws you in with his voice i love it cool advert x x

[Robbyb321]

The Name of theTUNE in the background is "Vladimir's Blues" it's on youtube if you search for it  =0)

[sianelizabeth]

I absolutely adore the sound of this mans voice, he's like nobody else. :)

[Greenfish654]

strange that it is an advert that reveals to me one of the best minutes of acting and writing that i've witnessed.

[hallilad]

this is my fav advert i've seen in my life so far, he is a true legend

[oiluke79]

shut it sampled you knowitall slag. your conception probably happened in a bar toilet

[titchinjp]

Anthony Hopkins is a legend.

[sampled]

Ruining a good film, nice. Has anyone uploaded the one where he quotes from The Shining? Gets it all wrong obviously, the scene he recounts happens in the toilet not at the bar: "You are the caretaker...."

[DowntownTwo]

Almost, ALMOST makes me subscribe to sky.

[sianelizabeth]

I love this man :)

[cookienuts3]

look at the spoof of this.

[georgydaly]

ya really like john murphy's one. hmmm....

[HudsonAO8TQ1]

this music sounds exactly like john murphy surface of the sun

what do you guys think?

[furyk1]

I want to wrap myself up in his voice and go to sleep. amazing voice.

[emptysoul31]

Anthony Hopkins is GOD :D

[nikotime]

it is max richter and he is still making new beautiful music

[Testament1]

does anybody know what classical song this is??

[xjustbecky]

I love him (:

[Phranky]

You know Blade Runner is a special film when the likes of Anthony Hopkins quote it.

[ZKY2]

Ahh that's Lena Headey doing the voiceover at the end!

[FilmfactoryShorts]

i consider him a "brother in arms" and love him forever.RH

[azureattorney]

I heart hopkins

[biscuardo]

he doesnt even attempt to copy the style of the original which makes it even better. the way he says dar'K' and the pauses he uses are just awesome.

this advert rivals that VW night drive one with under milk wood narration by richard burton

pure class

[Greenfish654]

how strange - I too class these two adverts as two of the only adverts that really grabs me. they are my two fav adds of all time.

[barryphelan77]

i love the nite driving add also. mty girlfriend thinks im weird coz i cant give her a reason why i do, its just co it seems like u are free, if u get me

[awsomedom3]

xD

im in love with this advert

[SoftandFluffy]

Great advert and background music. Anthony Hopkins is a world class actor and orates the classic lines from "Bladerunner" superbly.

[Rockstar0603]

I agree completely! Just the way he quotes everything so perfectly and the music... wow! I'd love to be able to play that, anyone know what its called?? But i agree, superb! =)

[AnonymousVenom]

it's a lot better than Ross Kemp's Sky+ advert

[5eify]

You could just sit there whilst he reads a book out loud perfect voice for telling a story

[chubbs3000]

can any1 post a how to of how to play this song or where i can learn it its class thx

[Iminurheadluv]

Anthony Hopkins is so friggin cool. One of the best actors of his generation.

[donthehonk]

I love Blade Runner so much, and the Blu Ray is amazing. It looks like the movie was shot yesterday.

[Greenfish654]

a beautiful advert. a poem.

[samstwitch]

Honestly, this is a great commercial!

[sirchunkalot]

i cant find the sheet music for this song anywhere :(

[Reighlech]

Yea me neither, try some Ludovico Einaudi stuff instead, very similar and I know you can buy his stuff as sheet music

[sirchunkalot]

ah thanks man, if that doesnt work out then i'll just sit in a dark room with this song playing until suddenly my brain says "hey! i can play this now!" (not gonna happen) :)

[chubbs3000]

can u play ritornare by Ludovico Einaudi ? if so can u do a how to or telll me where to find how to play it. plz

[samstwitch]

Wonderful advertisement...

[sirchunkalot]

thats brilliant, wonderful advert

[moviezfreakzreviewz]

I love this advert.

[Shezza2121]

Love this quote, so much so we had it put on my grandads grave stone! Brilliant film

[lordofwar568]

and if any1 nows how to play this peice on piano can they post a how to?

[lordofwar568]

Anthony Hopkins has a gd voice but that is not the best thing about this advert, the music is, it is such a peaceful piano peice and i cannot wait to learn it!!!!!

[differentclassradio]

Amazing Advert shame it advertises such a spiritless brand. I want The Ashes back !

[HebbyXYZ]

Beautiful music and an epic quote. Quite literally sent shivers down my spine first time I saw this on the telly :P

[lfcphil297]

please what is the music in this ??

[sirchunkalot]

vladimirs blues by Max Richter :)

[offshwga]

Hehe, I went off and ordered the movie (lost my old VHS version, nothing to play it on anyway :))

Great movie, thanks SKY for reminding me to get it again

[troubadour1943]

Perfect.

[mattland25]

Think that clips amazing. He's got an incredible reading voice; up there with Richard Burton in my opinion!

[damomurphy]

Any one put up the one where he talks about psycho?? and is there any more?

[jonnywotten]

I think it was a good advert and i'm glad hopkins didn't put too much emotion into it, nobody will ever be able to get even close to the original and i think hopkins knew that so didn't try. The ad will remind people of one of the greatest speeches in film history.

[Targus19]

not really because if you think this ad is about capuring moments etc.., and therfore the example given in the form of this quote is really quite well chosen.

[staercky]

Except that he's not trying to recreate the scene - he's just showing us what it's like to relive a classic movie moment in your head (something I'm sure we all do everyday - it's just that Anthony Hopkins can deliver it with beautiful, consummate ease).

[Edwards3Carrots]

It doesnt matter about the quality.

Its his voice. The quote. The music. The feeling.

I love this advert. Quite possibly the best advert ever made, in my opinion.

Thankyou for your upload.

Take Care x
