Hoffman Reprises Dash to Church for Ad
February 12, 2004
Dustin Hoffman is dashing to church again. The actor reprised his rush to the United Methodist Church in 1967′s “The Graduate” for a car commercial in which he stops his daughter’s wedding.
The ad being filmed in this east Los Angeles County city is only the second commercial Hoffman has appeared in, the 66-year-old actor said Wednesday. It will air in Europe only.
In the final scenes of “The Graduate,” Hoffman’s breakthrough film, his character pulled Katharine Ross’ character from the church, fighting off parents and guests. The two are later seen riding away in a bus.
In the Michael Bay-directed car commercial, Hoffman again rescues the bride, but this time returns to a 2005 Audi.
