"Billy Elliot is an incredible film full of so much joy and energy, so it was a real thrill and a great honour to be able to celebrate its 15 year anniversary through our Festive campaign. It was also a huge privilege to work with such amazing and iconic British talent - the cast are quite simply some of the biggest names in film, music and fashion and it was so much fun working with them all to make this special film." said Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer

Burberry has unveiled the stars of its 2015 Festive campaign. An all-British cast of actors, musicians and models will appear in a brand new 3-minute film that premieres across Burberry platforms at 7pm GMT Tuesday 3 November.

The line-up features Sir Elton John, James Corden, Julie Walters, Romeo Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Michelle Dockery, James Bay, George Ezra and Toby Huntington-Whiteley.

The "Burberry Festive Film" pays tribute to the iconic BAFTA-winning British film Billy Elliot, which this year celebrates its 15th anniversary. It is based on the much-loved opening sequence of the film and features original footage as well as the original soundtrack, ‘Cosmic Dancer' by T Rex.

The Premiere

The "Burberry Festive Film" will be premiered Tuesday November 3rd, at the brand's global flagship store, 121 Regent Street, in London, during an event hosted by Burberry Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Bailey and Sir Elton John.

The campaign will then be shared from 7pm across Burberry platforms including Burberry.com, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Sina Weibo until the end of the year.

World-renowned photographer, Mario Testino, also shot a separate stills campaign featuring Romeo Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and James Bay that will run across print and digital titles.
