Lights, Cameras, Safety Action for Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand are at it again with their entertaining safety video this time teaming up with Hollywood actress Anna Faris and New Zealand actor and comedic legend Rhys Darby to bring you the blockbuster, Safety in Hollywood.

Shot at Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles, the video explores several different Hollywood film genres as Darby tries to convince the star of the hit TV show Mom and the Scary Movie films to play a role in Air New Zealand’s new safety video with him.

Safety in Hollywood used four different sets at Warner Bros. including filming locations seen in legendary movies such as Jurassic Park, Casablanca, War of the Worlds and TV series True Blood.  More than 20 extras were also involved, including Chester the Chihuahua, who has appeared in Transformers and Grey’s Anatomy.

Air New Zealand Head of Global Brand Jodi Williams says it’s been fantastic to partner again with Warner Bros. which helped to produce the airline’s Hobbit inflight safety videos, and to work with the talented Rhys Darby and Anna Faris in Hollywood – the home of the US filmmaking industry.

Williams adds that Anna and Rhys make a great comedic duo and “really bring this safety video to life, entertaining customers while at the same time imparting key safety messages.”

The Air New Zealand inflight safety videos have become world famous with the interest in them collectively attracting more than 83 million views online and featured in international news outlets like CNN, BBC, Time.com and The Daily Mail.

“This latest video will again draw eyeballs to New Zealand from around the globe and encourage visitors to travel to our wonderful country.  It is also another great example of the diverse set of creative talent that our nation nurtures,” Williams added.

Rhys Darby says producing the safety video was a great experience and quite special given he is now based in Hollywood.

“Air New Zealand’s safety videos are a Kiwi staple and reflect the Kiwi sense of humour.  I think people will really enjoy watching this safety video as it takes them on a magical ride through the movie making world, while still bringing to life the key safety messages.”

Safety in Hollywood will be rolled out across the airline’s fleet from today and can be viewed online here.
