I’m really starting to warm up to Burn after Reading, especially after seeing this latest trailer. For those who don’t know what its about, /Film sums it up.
Focus Features has released a red band movie trailer for Burn After Reading. Written and directed by The Coen Brothers, this new dark-spy comedy stars Academy Award nominee John Malkovich as an ousted CIA official, whose memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) intent on exploiting their find.
The trailer is a scream. I just LOVE seeing Brad Pitt as the over enthusiastic loser personal trainer. After seeing him in so many roles where he is looking so cool and saying the right thing and kicking the right ass, it’s refreshing to see him as an average joe flailing about in waters too deep for him to handle.
It almost reminds me of seeing George Clooney in Brother Where art Thou where he has a similar humbling underachiever role. Speaking of which, George Clooney is in this too!
It just keeps getting better!
