Jay-Z & Beyonce - On the Run Trailer

With a formerly pristine image -- in the midst of one of today's biggest scandals seen across the world-- I wondered how two of our biggest stars in entertainment could refocus the globes' eyes on their talents & not their familial faults.

Jay & Bey have happened to capture their inconspicuous "renegade-like" relationship in a mock movie trailer with a star-studded cast! A wild police chase, strip clubs & dollar bills, steamy trysts, rendezvous, and a broken love story are all themes eloquently spread across this less than 4 minute video anecdote.  The incredible actor, Sean Penn, plays a mobster confidante, with Jay-Z as his protege, in a "Scarface" style setting, salaciously creating a need to know the back-story. Our B-613 bad boy, Guillermo Diaz (Scandal), doesn't let us down as the eerily dangerous foe, with actor, Don Cheadle, as a greenhorn fugitive,while actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, plays a crazed accessory to "Bonnie & Clyde's" crimes.

The damsels in Dior, don't let us down either! Two beautiful sisters, whom we rarely see work together, Kidada & Rashida Jones, play feminine culprits, giving us a bit of comedic relief in a lineup with Bonnie. A seemingly innocent & always gorgeous actress, Blake Lively, who we saw show us her undying loyalty in one of my personal favorites, Savages, seems to be an ingenue to Bey, but with a slight dumpster chic edge.

Last but not least, Beyonce, our 'damsel in Givenchy' doesn't disappoint-- her previously overwrought acting career, seems to exponentially increase in this condensed movie trailer. Bey was a temptress, a seductress, (as we grew up saying in the hood, a  'thugette'),  a liaison for Jay Z's shenanigans -- a true Bonnie to his Clyde! I'm not a diehard  fan of either, but certainly impressed and had goosebumps for an entire 3 minutes & forty-five seconds!

One can only hope this is an exciting prelude to the upcoming tour collaboration and will contain as much excitement and anticipation as the trailer did! Will you go see them in their "On the Run Tour?"
