Pepsi commercial: "We Will Rock You" this 2005 commercial, directed by Tarsem, is one of the more elaborate Pepsi commercials to date. It combines a gladiator theme with the hard rock Queen's "We Will Rock You". The stars involved in this commercial include Enrique Iglesias in the Europe/US version and Amr Diab in the Middle East version. In Enrique's version, he plays the role of an emperor hoarding Pepsi, Britney Spears, Alecia Beth Moore (Pink) and Beyonce Knowles, all playing similar roles of gladiatrices about to engage in combat for the emperor's and crowd's enjoyment. Ultimately the gladiatrices turn against the emperor and throw him from his seat. On the other hand, Amr Diab's version show the gladiatrices being attacked by a lion after the emperor realized their intentions. Tarsem was commended within the "Making of the Pepsi Commercial" video on several occasions by Beyonce Knowles, Enrique Iglesias, Amr Diab and Pink. Tarsem Singh - news / articles
