Some notes about Zayn’s upcoming music video

fyeahzaynmalik:

🎬 The scene where Zayn enters a spacious room and chatted with a man in a suit (who we now know was played by Steven Bauer, more on him later) was shot in the Penthouse Suite of Faena Hotel in Miami.

Fun fact: Zayn’s picture from his IG post on February 21 was taken at the balcony of this suite: x

Was Zayn doing a site visit that day or was it the actual day that the room scenes above was shot?


🎬 The club scenes were shot in Faena Theatre which is located inside Faena Hotel.

🎬 Going back to the black and white picture above, Zayn is pictured with

José Padilha (the man wearing a beanie) and Steven Bauer (the man in a suit). Here’s the picture again for easier reference:

José Padilha

is a Brazilian director, producer, and screenwriter best known as the director and executive producer of Narcos. His other notable works include the popular Brazilian films Elite Squad and Elite Squad: The Enemy Within and the 2014 remake of RoboCop. It’s unknown at this moment though if he is the director of Zayn’s music video.

Steven Bauer is a Cuban-American actor most notably known as playing Al Pacino’s right hand man in the 1983 movie Scarface. Steven has already acknowledged his participation in the music video with this post on his Instagram account: x

🎬 Steven leads us to the final note about his music video which is actually more like a fun fact trivia. Zayn has said before that his favorite movie is Scarface! x

Is Steven’s casting has something to do with Zayn’s love of Scarface? And/or…is the movie Scarface actually influenced the music video?
