CBS SPORTS AND NFL NETWORK “RUN THIS TOWN” FOR THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL OPEN, WITH MUSIC FEATURING RIHANNA AND NARRATION BY DON CHEADLE
Quote:
Thursday Night Football will feature a customized open each week highlighting the teams and storylines. Featuring Cheadle’s narration with music sung by Rihanna, the open will match the size and drama of each Thursday-night game. This open, which was filmed in an airplane hangar, was produced and directed by 28-time Emmy Award-winning producer Pete Radovich, who serves as CBS Sports’ creative director.
“This open combines one of music’s biggest stars with one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood,” said Radovich. “The energy that both talents provide gives the opening to every Thursday night the big-game, primetime feel it deserves. It is a dream scenario for any director.”
Is this just the little snippet before the game starts? Did they film something with her? And did she re-record the song or nah? I guess we'll find out on Thursday
Priyanka Chopra has been drafted. The international actress and pop singer will debut her track “In My City,” featuring will.i.am, as the opening act and theme song for NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football (September 12) at 8 p.m. ET.
