Nokia Hires Pamela Anderson to Promote the N8

Nokia is the world largest cell phone manufacturer, but when it comes to smartphones, it losing ground to iPhone and Android-based devices. Thus, the expectations for its next high-end, Symbian^3-based device, the Nokia N8, are through the roof.

Nokia N8 is coming soon  September 30th, if you trust Nokia’s Senior Comms Manager Tapani Kaskinen and one of its biggest claims to fame is a 12-megapixel camera capable of recording Full HD video.

The camera is a big selling point for the N8, and Nokia plans to draw attention to it in a big way: by hiring Pamela Anderson and Ed Westwick (of Gossip Girl fame) to star in a short movie shot entirely with the Nokia N8’s camera.

It gets better: two lucky fans will have a chance to play the main roles in the movie, dubbed The Commuter. Although the details about the script are scarce, one fan will partake in a bedroom scene with Pamela, while another will be in an elevator with Ed Westwick.

The short feature will be directed by the McHenry Brothers, who have just finished filming their first full-length animated movie, Jackboots on Whitehall, starring Ewan McGregor and Rosamund Pike.
