Henson, and became hired assassins could be in for a treat. Writer/director Joe Carnahan has stated on his website that a prequel has been given the go-ahead to start production.

The original 2007 action-comedy, released by Universal Pictures, starred Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keys, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven, Ryan Reynolds, Peter Berg, Taraji Henson, Chris Pine, Martin Henderson, Jason Bateman and Common.

No word on what the story will be or who may come back, but Carnahan promises that some of the actors from the original may appear in cameos.

They were promoting their respective films at the Toronto International Film Festival, then in the afternoon scooted off to do the Toronto shoot of the video for the new James Bond song in Quantum of Solace.

Keys, in town to promote the festival entry The Secret Life of Bees, said at the Four Seasons Hotel they had a great time doing the tune and planned on having just as much fun shooting the video.

“It’s the first Bond duet,” said the singer who co-stars in the Bees movie with Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson.

White’s at the festival too. He showed up with Jimmy Page and The Edge from U2 to drum up business for the festival’s rock documentary It Might Be Loud.

Both have such busy schedules that the video producers decided to film the video while White and Keys were in Toronto promoting their separate projects.

Keys wouldn’t detail what was in the video, but she admitted “it would be a little sexy.” As for the musical leanings, she described the new Bond song as “rock ‘n’ soul.” She said “Jack took the lead on the song, but I added my style with his.”

Quantum of Solace opens in November starring Daniel Craig as Bond.
