In Jaguar's global campaign for its first fully-electric car, the I-PACE, Eva Green, accompanied by a computer-generated jaguar, mimes the femme fatale: "It's just electricity. Nothing to be afraid of". Author Craig McLean and photographer Rebecca Miller met the French actor behind the scenes of the commercial shoot.
