Beyonce and Jay Z Release Part 1 of 'On the Run' Short Film Trilogy (VIDEO)

By Nick Roman ·

Beyonce and Jay Z are getting downright cinematic in their latest clip, as the hottest couple in music is expanding their On The Run concert teaser into a short film trilogy.

As a promotion for the upcoming premiere of the On the Run concert special premiering this coming Saturday, September 20th on HBO, Mr. and Mrs. Carter are releasing three short films, each running three minutes. The first video, "Bang Bang", is a Bonnie and Clyde-esque epic centered on "two American outlaws [who] speed through the Californian desert in a dusty 1960s Pontiac GTO with a manifest poise and stylish swagger."

Directed by the New York filmmaker/photographer Dikayl Rimmasch and scored by tracks from the iconic composer Ennio Morricone, it's a visually-arresting film that really sets the tone for the roguish, wild nature of the On the Run concert. Check out the full video below via The Hollywood Reporter:
