To celebrate in style, it’s teamed up with the <em>Star Wars: The Last Jedi</em> and <em>Knives Out</em> director, Rian Johnson, to produce a special commercial for Pokémon GO Fest 2020 (taking place on 25th – 26th July).</p> <p>Johnson describes himself as a longtime trainer, and helped shape the concept of the video (below) with his “cinematic eye” and “vision” by peeling back the layers of everyday life to take a look closer at the experience of being a trainer.</p> <blockquote> <p>“it was a real pleasure working with Niantic on this spot. It was a new experience for me to direct a production remotely, and I enjoyed the highly collaborative process and think we put together a fun and upbeat commercial that fans will enjoy.”</p> </blockquote> <aside class="object object-youtube"> <div class="youtube">[embedded content]</div> </aside> <p>This isn’t the first time Johnson has made Pokémon GO headlines.
