Features a curved OLED display exceeding 38 inches in screen size
Introduced in 1998 as a pioneer of full-size luxury SUVs, the Escalade is a segment leader, with 806,000 units sold in the U.S. and 900,000 worldwide to date for its fourth generation.
The fifth-generation model adopts a curved OLED display, achieving a screen size exceeding 38 inches with vivid resolution and pixel density twice that of a 4K television, further solidifying its reputation as a technology innovator.
Spike Lee's "Anthem" employs the director's signature double dolly technique, which emphasizes the movement of characters to create a sense of approaching them. The film skillfully captures the presence, innovation, and poise of the next-generation Escalade, expressing reverence for the vehicle.
"The next-generation Escalade subtly embodies styling, luxury, and prestige, and I am honored to be involved with it," the director commented.
Steve Carlisle, President of Cadillac, stated, "Spike Lee is one of the most accomplished storytellers of our time and a supremely creative filmmaker. His unique perspective is the perfect fit to convey the passion and spirit of the new Escalade."
