Director sponsoring liquor

I had admire several Film directors, of which the late Orson Welles is perhaps my favorite. His work on Citizen Kane is perhaps one of the best cult movies ever. But I suppose everyone would only remember him as the voice of Unicorn in Transformers the movie.

Well Orson Welles kinda did an ad for a Champagne which makes no sense to me. Akira Kurosawa along with Francis Ford Coppola combined for a Whiskey ad as well.

I only hope Wong Kar Wai wont end up like so
