Jay Z's Life + Times shared a trailer for Run, an action movie starring both Jay and Beyoncé as well as Sean Penn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Don Cheadle, Guillermo Díaz, Emmy Rossum, Rashida Jones, and Kidada Jones. Per the trailer, it's "coming never." Directed by Melina Matsoukas, and presented by Roc Nation with Parkwood Entertainment, the clip pictures Beyoncé and Jay Z as bank-robbing outlaws on the run. It's full of gun shots, strip clubs, exploded buildings—unlike their family's recent bit of "action," Bey hardly stands back. She gets chased by a cop and tends to Jay's open gun wound. The video features clips of Jay Z and Beyonce's Magna Carta Holy Grail collaboration "Part II (On The Run)". Their "On the Run" tour starts next month. all we can say Solange better watch her back.
