Jay-Z and Beyoncé may be cooling off behind the scenes, but their new HBO promo comes out guns a blazin'.
The promotional video for their Sept. 20 HBO special — which will be filmed in Paris next month — begins with Beyoncé singing Frank Sinatra's "Bang Bang" to Hova while he puffs on a cigar. When she pulls the trigger, the clip plunges into a mad arrangement of backup dancers, pyrotechnics and Jay-and-Bey centric moments of the couple's On The Run Tour.
The duo have faced several divorce rumors during the past couple months, but have nevertheless put a quality product on stage night in, night out.
Those who weren't able to snag tickets for any of the American shows at least got a glimpse of the action in last month's first promo video. Jay and Bey will be performing in Paris on Sept. 12 and 13, when the HBO special will be filmed:

After early rumors of poor ticket sales, Billboard recently reported that the couple's American leg earned more than $100 million, and that those rumors were mostly overblown.
While sell-out crowds were not a nightly occurrence, they reportedly pulled in an average of 45,000 concertgoers every night.
Last year, Beyoncé produced a documentary Life Is But A Dream—which aired on HBO—and Jay Z premiered his extended music video/performance art hybrid "Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film" on HBO. The 10-minute clip highlights the rapper performing the song at a gallery in New York City for a very intimate crowd.
According to Forbes, news of an On The Run showing came less than a month after the network announced it would be airing Beyoncé: X10, a video series featuring one-off performances from her The Mrs. Carter Show world tour.
