Modrić, Malkovich star in new Croatian tourism ad ahead of World Cup clash

The Croatian National Tourist Board (HTZ) has released a new promotional film featuring Croatia captain Luka Modrić and Hollywood actor John Malkovich ahead of the national team's Round of 32 match at the FIFA World Cup.

The second ad of the "CROATIA. I Hear It's Beautiful" campaign pairs Malkovich, whose family has Croatian roots, with Modrić as the two showcase one of the country's most distinctive attractions—the Sea Organ in the coastal city of Zadar.

In the short film, Malkovich visits the Sea Organ at Modrić's suggestion, experiencing firsthand the unique waterfront installation, which creates music using the movement of the Adriatic Sea.
