“You come at the queen, you best not miss” warns actress Carrie Coon, who narrates the piece.
“In ‘All Eyes on Us,’ we take you on to the field in a way you typically don’t see,” says Robert Gottlieb, FOX Sports’ EVP, Head of Marketing. “You’re really going to feel like a part of the action with the U.S. team. We know how powerful this sport is and couldn’t be more proud to be the ambassadors for it, bringing the tournament into everyone’s living rooms this summer.”
Joseph Kahn, renowned film and music video director (Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga), directed the spot, working with legendary Hollywood cinematographer Robert Elswit.
“I’m super fascinated by these warrior women – their physicality, mentality, camaraderie and teamwork,” says Kahn. “They’re superhuman and really inspiring. I wanted to capture that on-camera.”
“They’re superhuman. They’re very inspiring. As I’m shooting, I’m just trying to get that on camera.” ?️
