This new remake, part of the Pepsi Generation campaign, aims to honor the brand's 120-year history in pop culture by also featuring Michael Jackson.

Cindy Crawford is heading back to the Super Bowl: The model has re-created her iconic 1992 Super Bowl ad for Pepsi, now featuring her 18-year-old son.

Crawford recently filmed the commercial, which will debut at Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4. It includes her son, Presley Walker Gerber, as well as footage from Michael Jackson’s memorable Pepsi commercial.

Something to look forward to :D
Bring on Dreams(who is it) !!!!!!
 
hmm, this is cool - I hope it's more than a 2 second clip... Spoiled I know!
 
Wasn't MJ in a Pepsi commercial during last year's super bowl also?

Pepsi's Super Bowl Ad Celebrates Michael Jackson, Britney Spears & More​

Some of the biggest acts in the biz have teamed up with Pepsi throughout the years and the long-standing beverage company is paying homage to their very best spots in their new ad, which will make its TV debut during Sunday's Super Bowl 52 showdown between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles.

On Thursday (February 1), Pepsi released the extended version of their "This is the Pepsi" advertisement and it takes viewers through the decades with the soda drink. In the 68-second TV spot, Jimmy Fallon narrates the clip, bringing folks through the years for each Pepsi drinker. We see Ray Charles​' Diet Pepsi spot from 1991. We see Cindy Crawford remake her iconic 1992 commercial with her model son Presley Gerber. We see Britney Spears​ offer that wink during her "New Millennium" commercial from 2001. We see Pepsi Max with Nascar driver Jeff Gordon in 2013. Plus, it concludes with Michael Jackson​'s iconic 1984 commercial from his Bad era.

"Pepsi has been an iconic brand for over 120 years now that’s always celebrated pop culture, music, and sports," Greg Lyons, Pepsi's CMO said in a statement via AdWeek​. "This ad brings that to life. We brought back a lot of our iconic artists."

Pepsi Generation's "This is the Pepsi" spot will air in the 30-second slot right before the Pepsi halftime show featuring Justin Timberlake​. Scroll on below to check out the 68-second directorial cut!

I'm glad Pepsi put a portion of Michael's old 1987 commercial in the recent one even though I already quit with Pepsi over 5 years and haven't touched it since.
 
I thought it was pretty awesome. I just wish it was like a second or two longer.

If the original commercial was shot on video, it probably didn't meet the other (recent) shots in resolution... hence the 'trick' to use it on a phone.

Probably didn't even use the masters, could've just been a YouTube rip lol.
 
Maybe but man..that's one of the coolest outfits Michael ever wore in my opinion. And his moves in that commercial were so sleek. That's the MJ I'd like the world to see more of..

I saw it and loved it.. I will say though, I am still waiting for the day that they pay tribute to Michael the way they did Prince.. Rightfully so this year with that and being in miniapolis!

It's just so much what I want for MJ!
