It's difficult to remember a time when Beyonce and Jay Z weren't a gajillionaire hip hop power couple, but they still love playing the role of wanted outlaws.
Jay and Bey's first collaboration was "'03 Bonnie and Clyde," and they just recently wrapped their worldwide On the Run tour. Now, the Carters are keeping the lovers-on-the-lam motif going with their new short film, "Bang Bang."
The title is borrowed from Nancy Sinatra's 1966 cover of a Sonny Bono-penned song that was famously featured in Quentin Tarantino's blood-soaked epic, Kill Bill.
The look and feel of Jay and Bey's film calls to mind Uma Thurman's ill-fated wedding at the start of the film's second volume.
The Carters are both passionate film fans and have promoted their various projects with ambitious straight-to-YouTube cinematic efforts in the past.
Jay and Beyonce's "Run" trailer that was shot to promote their latest tour looked more like less like a commercial and more like something that would be entered into competition in an exclusive film festival.
Of course in that case, we knew what the Carters were plugging.
We're not yet sure exactly what "Bang Bang" is meant to promote. A new single? The couple's HBO concert special set to air on September 20?
As usual, Jay and Bey are playing it close to the vest. Maybe the film's next installment will fill in some of the blanks.
