JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts and Marriott International’s Content Studio released the exclusive trailer for the second installment of the Two Bellmen short film franchise. Shot on location at the world’s tallest hotel, JWMarriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, Two Bellmen Two reflects JW Marriott’s commitment to luxury guest service, providing an entertaining and theatrical inside look into the action-packed world of two bellmen.

“Our bellmen are often the first to welcome our guests to JW Marriott,” said Mitzi Gaskins, Vice President, Luxury Brand Management at Marriott International. “Our associates are known for going above and beyond to take great care of each and every guest that walks through our doors, and Two Bellmen Two provides an entertaining glimpse into the life of the bellmen – capturing the lengths that our associates will go to make that experience unforgettable.”

Slated to premiere on February 4, 2016, the Content Studio’s fourth original short film stars award-winning international actress Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire, Planet of the Apes, Trishna) and sees the return of bellmen Gage and Christian, played by Hollywood actors and stuntmen William Spencer (Spider-Man; Spider-Man 2) andCaine Sinclaire (NBC’s Grimm; How I Met Your Mother). Other cast members include popular Dubai comedian Ali Al Sayed, actor Darin Toonder (June, Adrift; Flashback; Missed Connection) and a cameo from JW Marriott’s celebrity brand partner and event planner Colin Cowie.

Two Bellmen Two begins with Leila Patel played by Pinto, a top executive traveling toJW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai to give an important presentation at the Luxury Symposium hosted at the hotel. Upon arrival, Leila gives her young assistant, Reed, the USB drive featuring her presentation, only for him to lose it moments later. Bellmen Gage and Christian quickly notice that something is wrong and spring into action, maneuvering the streets of Dubai to rescue the USB before time runs out.

“Two Bellmen Two is the next short film from the global franchise where we are using original storytelling to engage with and win the hearts, minds, and wallets of next generation travelers,” said David Beebe, Vice President, Global Creative + Content Marketing at Marriott International. “The JW Marriott Marquis Dubai was written into the script from scratch as a character along with the rest of cast and also features iconic locations throughout Dubai, ultimately inspiring viewers to travel.”

A global hub for commerce and luxury travel experiences, Dubai is a burgeoning location for top filmmakers and production houses. Offering a versatile backdrop, the city is home to some of the world’s most stunning structures and brings sun, sand and snow to this action-packed film – making it an ideal central character in Two Bellmen Two.
