Burn After Reading: next Coen Bros. movie.

First I've heard of it, and there's no posts yet about it(I searched SOHARD!).

Infos here

For those disinclined to clicking, though you get some pics if you click.

The first official stills from Burn After Reading, the Coen brothers project set to open in September, have hit the web. Everyone in them looks in some way perplexed. The movie stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton (the awesome Oscar speech giver), and Frances McDormand.

Burn 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. [FirstShowing]

A guy named Brad playing a guy named Chad? I dunno, seems like a stretch. Anyway, I would definitely bone this movie. In other news, be on the look out for Paris Hilton's next project, Burn After Peeing.

That picture of Pitt got me laughing my ass off for some reason, heh.

I will definitely see that. Fucking all-star cast and Coen Bros. own.

Wow how could they keep this under the radar for so long. I can't wait to see this.

"As soon as you give us the money, dickwad!" Pitt's face after that punch is awesome.

Can't wait.

Looks like it'll kick ass. Can't wait for this one.

This is one of those movies that has "watch me instantly" written all over it based upon the history of all the actors and the directors.

This looks absolutely hilarious. Love everyone involved in it and have extremely high hopes.

I hate John Malkovich ever since that movie "Being John Malkovich" came out. I hated the idea but probably hated the cinematography more than a hybrid Hitler/child molester... He just seems like such a pompous ass in anything he plays. This sounds more like a comedy than something deep like NCFOM though...

This looks like it could be a winner. Brad Pitt does a good job of playing quirky characters for some reason like Snatch and 12 Monkeys.

I need to see this movie RIGHT NOW!
