To herald the return of Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries, Deutsch LA rolls out this cinematic-style spot, “The Craving,” starring Sarah Hyland (Modern Family) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things). The plotline follows a guy who’s consumed by his desire for Nacho Fries, leading him on a wild ride.
This is the sixth faux movie trailer-style campaign for Nacho Fries, an ongoing saga with the thrills heightened this time around by an original song from Michael Abels, the composer for such hair-raising films as Get Out and Us.
Jeremy Saulnier directed the spot which was cut by Jim Haygood of Union Editorial.
