Coen Bro’s Burn After Reading Photos
Here are some new photos from Joel and Ethan Coen’s latest Burn After Reading, which was just announced to be opening the prestigious Venice Film Festival come late-August. Since the Coen boys rarely ever do anything wrong and this stars John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Frances McDormand (a combined twenty Oscar nominations between these actors and the Coens), this is a guaranteed winner. Firstshowing describes the movie, which “centers on Osbourne Cox (Malkovich), who has hit a bit of rough patch. He was recently fired from the CIA and decides to write his memoirs, naturally documenting government secrets along the way. His wife (Swinton) decides to steal the material to use in their upcoming divorce proceedings, but the CD mistakenly ends up in the hands of two doltish gym employees, Chad (Pitt) and Linda (McDormand). In response to Linda and Chad conspiring to sell the material to help pay for Linda’s plastic surgery, the CIA dispatches Harry (Clooney) to sort it all out at whatever the cost.”
Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump.
Those pictures look hysterical. Something about Pitt’s hair and general look make me giggle.

Wow, it looks like Pitt is 20 years younger in that photo. And I guess Clooney gets to sleep with Swinton, something that never happened in Michael Clayton. Judging from the facial expressions, it doesn’t look like a good time was had.

Very true Kurt but I’m guessing if she wins anything else she may have even MORE to say about his nipples….or maybe he’ll comment on hers. Who the heck knows!

This movie is going to be fantastic. That’s pretty much scientific fact at this point. Brad Pitt looks exactly like a douchey gym employee too, which made me giggle as well.

Love the haircut on McDormand in that one. Looks like the Coen’s have nailed “Soccer Mom”!

Ain’t that the truth! That was my favourite thing about those new pictures: her hair! In general, I’m loving the look of these photos!
